    Hi Bob.....I don't know if they used the Morris minor in the borrowers. The ford is an e83w and is the same as one I used to have. I have old photos of my ford and a 1954 Austin Devon ice cream van I used to own. I will try to scan my photos and post them up.
    Your enthusiasm and pics you've posted on this thread made me move my lazy butt and post some pics.
