My 1970 Custom Morris 1000 Traveller. ARC 402H
The car I wanted since I was at school. After finally becoming the owner and two restorations later I eventually got the car i always wanted, kind of. After 10 years or restoring and tweaking this car I still wasnt 100% happy, my enthusiasm dropped, and with the want to build a house the money was needed in more important places. In some ways I wish id kept Archie, but probably did the right thing. Who knows I may buy him back one day. I sold him to a couple in Dorchester that put more miles on the clock in one year than in did in 10. I have lost touch with them unfortunatley. If you own Archie do get in touch: Email

Here's a few pictures of Archie finished (second time!)
Looking awesome even if I do say myself.
I made the custom bumper from solid Ash as a one off.
Very tidy engine bay. Unleaded head, 1.5" Su, alloy inlet, maniflow 3 branch exhaust and system, vernier adjustable duplex timming chain, Kent cam shaft, the list goes on, yet the power was dismal, maybe i just got used to the power of my van!
The custom interior took 5 hides of leather. Im very proud of the outcome, and my attention to detail. More of my one off timber work on the dash and door capping.
The underside was almost as good as the body this time. All cavities injected with waxoyl.
More pictures will follow of the restorations, but this should satisfy you for now.
