"1964 Car Of The Year"...

this old Morris 1100 has been sitting ignored for many years in a locals front yard......some say good riddance and some say it's a classic....it won Wheels Magazine car of the year in 1964 ....worthy of a photo at least...

Definitely worth a photo and perhaps one day some enthusiast will buy and restore it

Ha ha John. My dad had one of these. Hydrolastic suspension, 1100cc BMC Series A motor, bench seats in the front. Like driving around on a marshmellow but actually quite a comfortable car. Good find

We used to have one of these as the 'family car' when I was growing up, it was red so it could faster. Great shot.

@terryliv ....ive never really given these much thought but as they have now all but disappeared.have softened a little...

[john graham]

@graemestevens ...a red one would have been pretty cool in its day...glad you like the shot

[Richard Hickey]

I used to hate these cars in the 1970's now I love them as there are not so many. Fav.

Oh, I had one similar to this in the early 70's! My dad fixed it up so I could have a car to get to work. Thanks for the memories John :)
