Upper Middle Petrol Head:

Last time we saw this left-hand drive Falcon convertible, it had its roof down ( https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7165367970551834236#editor/target=post;postID=6267208270993806494;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=16;src=postname ).  If it were an MGB or an MX5, seeing it with its lid up wouldn't likely be cause for a second post.  However, convertible Falcons are much rarer beasts in Australia and, in this instance, the roof and side windows have rather changed the look of the whole car.

This splendid Morris 1000 looks like it may have been restored fairly recently, given its fresh paint and the E -prefix rego plate.  Whoever did it up has trodden a fine line between originality, safety and creature comfort, having fitted radial ply tyres and high-back velour front seats.  The lightly metalicised paint is hugely unlikely to be original, either.  The results are, however, very nice - although they probably wouldn't appeal to the purists!   Who knows what's lurking beneath the bonnet?  Datsun 1200 and 1400 motors are said to be popular up-grades that improved reliability and driveability, as is fitting similar-sized Corolla engines, but there's nothing to suggest that anything other than an original 1000 powers this car.
