The car was first registered on 20 June 1951.
By memory the chasis number is about 76000.

Reversed the rims? How does that work - it can't be as simple as just turning them round...

This is probably not advisable on a Series MM due to the very small hub bearings & the inherently weak wheel centres.

When I said reveresed the rims I meant MM centres with reversed 13" Torana Rims.

Aha - I'm guessing, that since banded wheels are illegal here, that probably is too. That'll be why I haven't seen it before!
Hmm - wonder why it didn't show my name... Ah - I'd been logged off. Probably 'cos of the changes.

Wow looks great. Would be a nice ride with the 948 running gear.
I took the kids for a ride in the morrie with the gearbox tunnel out they thought it was great, the road rushing past, lots of hot air & fumes.
