Morris-Commercial project

[Mike Kelly]

new project .. this came dowm from QLD 6 years ago .... a very late production aero screen CS8 ..... must be near the last of them made ,18080. The front crash bar damage was done after I did the deal to get it down here ...

Great looking vehicles
Best of luck with the restoration
When you get the other one down from Queensland you would almost have to have the largest Morris collection in Australia wouldnt you ?

Very nice find, Mike!

Interesting to see the crash bar support made from steel strips, I though this was a C4-feature, but I recon it was also seen on "late" CS8's??

Thanks

I pulled the gearbox off yesterday .. the original factory motor is still in situ .

Pics ... the muffler is somewhat stuffed !

Will take me 5 to 8 years I estimate to restore this truck. But I have salvaged many CS8 wrecks for parts/spares over the years , so have enough bits .

Under the muffler bracket , a tid bit of the original paint .. a nice bronze green - AKA BSC 22 Mid bronze green .. its a rich grass green colour .
