A local junkyard has one of these Morris Travellers that appears to be
complete right down to the hubcaps but looks like it's been sitting there
for a few years. It's a real charmer, and I always thought that one would
make a very interesting but practical utility vehicle. I've never even
asked about the little wagon because the proprietor is less than cordial...
but if you're interested I could look up a number.
