Rare scrapyard finds, Morris Ital and Austin A35

I went down to one of the local scrapyards the other day and stumbled upon something I haven't seen in ages, on the road or scrapped, the venerable Morris Ital!

It's a 1.3SL in denim blue, the doors, I think are pretty knackered due to rough handling when it was brought in, driver's side look a bit battered anyway, can't remember what the passenger side was like now though. It has a good bonnet, near mint boot with badges, and has an almost complete interior in that sort of oatmeal colour. Apart from needing a good clean, the interior seems in pretty good condition. All glass bar one N/S rear quarterlight still present and in good condition.

In addition, both tail lights are as good as mint, both front lights are good but the right hand indicator lense is smashed.

Cylinder head now gone but most major mechanical components remain.


Also languishing at the back is an Austin A35, not much left of it, but might be of use to someone for the odd hard to find bit and piece.

If anyone wants to give the yard a ring, Call F. McGuinness on 01782 817424 (Stoke-on-Trent).
