Well spotted! I ment to spell "murmers".

If you put your ear close to my 2.25D and listen carefully when it's idling, you can hear Morris Dancers.

That's because the 2.25D is really a Morris A40 engine!

Morris A40? Austin had A30 ~ A125.

Yep. My uncle had an Austin A40 Devon.

IIRC the A40 Farina was marketed as the "Austin Morris" Farina.

I don't remember it being anything except an Austin, although I know it came as both an Austin and a Morris in the UK.

I don't know anyone who has one, although I took an interest in them as a number of families had Austins. One aunt had a A30, an uncle replaced his Rover 9 with an A70, a cousin had an A40 ute. All about the time I first started to take an interest in cars in the late 1940s, early 1950s.
