Many Classic and vintage Morris Vehicle Bearings, large or small are no longer made. As major manufacturers such as Hoffmann, Ransome & Marles ( known as R&M ) and Pollard Bearings merged to form RHP in 1970, their product ranges were contracted, with the less popular sizes being deleted.
This is where we can help you. With massive UK stocks at our disposal and a world-wide sourcing network we can find the Morris bearing that you are looking for... quickly, professionally and economically.

The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, in September 1948 and more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972 in three series: the MM (1948), the Series II (1952) and finally the 1000 series (1956).
Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate (the Traveller) from 1952 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from 1953.
The Morris Six Series MS was produced from 1948 to 1953. It was Morris's first post war six-cylinder car. At launch the car was priced at £607 (including tax) on the UK market.
When tested by the British magazine "The Motor" in 1950 had a top speed of 82.5 mph and could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 22.4 seconds. A fuel consumption of 20 miles per imperial gallon was recorded.
A de-luxe version was announced at the 1953 London Motor Show with leather upholstery, a heater and over-riders on the front bumpers.
Once it had been introduced, the Oxford was virtually ignored by BMC's product planners and engineers, for although it sold successfully, if not spectacularly, for ten years, the 1971 model was almost the same as the 1961 variety. Even after British Leyland was formed, the Oxford soldiered on until the Traveller was dropped in February 1969 and the saloon finally disappeared in April 1971. It was immediately replaced by the new British Leyland-designed Morris Marina.
With the threat to fuel supplies resulting from the 1956 Suez Crisis, Austin decided to build a small fuel-economical car; the result was the revolutionary Mini, launched in 1959.
The Austin version was initially called the Austin Seven, but Morris' Mini Minor name caught the public imagination and the Morris version outsold its Austin twin, so the Austin's name was changed to Mini to follow suit.
