Default Very Uncommon

No, not common at all.

It doesn't look like much, but all the dissasembled mechanical parts are there, just missing clues to what the rear body was.

Hi Wayne,
I have had this old morris engine sitting in the paddock for years. If it is any use to your restoration, you are most welcome to have it.
Cheers
John
