Found these pics on my other PC. Was this the reg of the other S/T Coupe?

Err yes it was Ben.Property of Brian Saunders no less.Obviously an early pre production experiMENTAL version.Or perhaps he legitimately re panelled the original coupe into a pick up?

strangest thing is the chassis number is now a pickup number aswell!!!

:roll: :roll:

The question is how do we know that the chassis number is that of a pickup? and not that of perhaps for sake of argument a 1.3 sdl coupe!!

It has a commercial prefix and not a standard MH2S as an example as a Coupe would have..

Yes that is as maybe but it does live right next to a certain Mumford in a tasty shade of Jade green metallic! chassis Number MH2SKN-5006N, I hope this helps with your Mumford register! when I discover how to post pics, plenty of those to follow.
Cheers

P.S. Young Douglas the pickup chassis' number is M(Morris)A(A-series) 2(door)U pickup 9(MkI) S (S.D.L)193547M But of course you know that already the question is how?

EEL 398L Was not supplied by PMG, but by Westover Motors also in Bournmouth hence the EEL suffix, supplied in march 1973 new to Mrs A.E.Gallup.
The S.T. fittings consisted of Dunlop Alloy wheels, twin HS2 s.u's & primitive telescopic front dampers. According to the part number on the s.u. float chambers they were as fitted to the austin 1300 's', as are the 's' badges on the bonnet & boot lid if the J.Fray part numbers are anything to go by. As regards the car itself it was a glacier white 1.3 s.d.l. with midnight blue stripes, bootlid & grille inserts. The exhaust headers were bespoke one offs in stainless!!, not janspeed items.
When beautifully tuned I managed 68 B.H.P. at the back wheels on my local rolling road, coupled with 16 M.P.G.!! (who says t.c.'s aren't economical then!) .
It handled as predictably vile as any typical marina, and was outperformed by 1300 mk 2 vauxhall astras , but never mind it certainly got you noticed!
Anyone wanting pics of the beast are welcome to email me & I'll send you some & Others in my extensive fleet of ADO 28 derivatives.

16 mpg! thats worst than a Bently Continental! But probably better than my TC drinks petrol like theres no tomorrow.

Will be getting those yellow mumford pics soon when Ben goes on his biweekly trip to the IOW

Have you got any of the original car bits left Brian? i.e. wheels, carbs etc..

Yes still got all five S.T. wheels, carbs, infact most of the car too!!
