Good news, an original Morris 10 bonnet mascot has turned up at a reasonable price and has been fitted to replace the distinctly non standard art deco streamlined hawk that came with the car. 13082011073comp.jpg This Morris 10 mascot is only the second one that I've seen for sale this year, the firs...
