Identification	Changes year by year	Body Numbers	Engine Numbers	Paint Codes	Build Dates

Engines for almost all the Australian manufactured Morris 1100s were built in the Australian factory and were stamped with engine numbers that identify them as such.

Exceptions are the early automatic transmission cars fitted with 1,100cc engines. In these cases the entire powerunit was imported from England.

The engine number is stamped onto the engine block just below the spark plug nearest the radiator.
