Query from a novice.

Hi All, I've just acquired this from a friend who needed the garage space.
Does anyone recognise the "make",please? It has Morris 1000 running gear.
The chassis is built like a tank, but looks a bit too good for a "home-made".
Since getting it home I've found that it is very difficult to "shoehorn" my
63 year old 6ft+ frame into it so it may be passed on to a smaller enthusiast!!!
Anyone out there looking for a "part-built"??

Daft question, but what's on the V5, does this give you a clue, may also give you an idea as to the vintage ? If it is based on a morris minor then I suspect it is late 60's early 70's.

Quick google came up with this -

Morris Kilo ?? 14 made, 3 know in existance - now 4 possibly

[Redcar49]

Not got the V5 yet, it's still in his "filing system!!!" Should have it in a day or two, hopefully!! Must admit that it bears a vague similarity to the one You mentioned!! Looks like it could be quite rare then(??) May be a good investment then, but it will still probably be sold!!
Why didn't I think of this before, I've just checked on the DVLA query site and it's down as a Morris,manufactured 1970, first registered 06-11-1970, so it looks like You may be right!! We shall see!!!

The Kilo was manufactured between 1983 and 1984. I think the car in the picture may be a one-off as the details are very different (think angular and cycle wings). KitCar registration was totally different in the past with many cars retaining the original donor details.

[Redcar49]

Many thanks for that. Looks like it's even "rarer" than I thought! I've emailed a guy
who's into Morris 1000 conversions to see what He thinks, and await a reply!! Another
picture attached for interest.

[Redcar49]

Strangely, the guy from the Morris 1000 kit car club seems to
think that it is a KILO!!!

Looks like the other Kilos but with cycle wings...

It has an aura of JC Midge, IMHO.

From the windscreen to the back, it looks like a Jego jeep tub.

It does when I look!! Entering "Reg no" and "Morris" brings up the correct entry.
Entering "Reg No" and "Aston Martin" brings up "Vehicle not found"!!
Vehicle has a V5 with all the correct details.
