[Spridgets] [morris_motors] Morris/Datsun 310

[Paul Asgeirsson]

This car was built by Peter Portugal, an incredibly talented car builder.
When I get a chance later tonight or tomorrow, I'll give the history of these
2 cars as I know it.  I

If I'd known this front drive 6 passenger Morris Minor with rumble seat was
for sale, BOY!  Would I have snapped it up!  This is a treasure from a man who
can really do cars.  Alan, wanna sell it?

In the meantime, take a look at these sites, they'll blow you away!!

He makes some of us mortals look pretty anemic as far as car design and
modifications go.

  It sure looks better than the old 310/F-10 Datsuns!

  Hi,
  Wondering if anyone, especially PA knows anything about a Morris Tourer I
  bought while ago. It was in Eureka, CA. I made the peurchase sight unseen,
  and the seller who knew nothing about MM did say it had a Datsun Engine.

  Imagine my surprise to find a transverse front wheel drive powertrain! The
  Morris body has been grafted to an entire Datsun chassis. The only orig
  parts are body parts. Has the trunk lid reverse hinged too, maybe the
  builder was planning on a rumble seat?

  Just curious if anyone knows more about this car. Currently maroon with
  black wings.

  Pic, attached, don't know if it will work.

  Cheers, Alan
