Sunbar ◊ 2016-11-03 20:08	For whatever reason the date was chosen, 1967 is consistant with the grille design used. This commonised Austin/Morris grille appeared from approximately 1966 in the UK. The earlier (September 1954-1966) Morris grille seen here on another Australian built LD2; prior to this, the grille was similar to the one on the J/JB van.
