Hi to everyone. I'm from TAIWAN. We have got this Morris MK-II 1800 for more than 30 years. Last year we thought we would change the front and rear windscreen rubbers in Summer, but it started to rain. This March we had a car accident as someone crashed into to the rear of her. We started to find the parts we needed and found Anthony Wood, the right person. We would like to say a big thank to Anthony Wood for the time and the work he tried to find the parts for us. Also thanks to the two who did the welding job and painting according to my father's instructions. As mechanics, we did the rest of the work, like interiors, exteriors and engine plus AT. For four months we have spent repairing her. Finally she is back to the road. I'll try to post the details time to time. Tony

Thanks, Tommy.
I heard that there were about 10 Morris our people imported to Taiwan. I believe it was done in 1970s. We got her when she was 9 years old and have got her since then. My father repaired most of them, but some were not well kept.
There is another well conditioned Austin 1750 in Taipei. We live in Kaohsiung, about 375 kms from Taipei.
As far as I know, there is another white Morris MK-II 1800 with manual gearbox in Kaohsiung. I heard that the new car owner disassembled it to repair, but hasn't fixed it yet for more than a couple of years. On day I'll try to take a look, maybe give a hand if he needs.
Tony
