On a side note I didn't know what MOWOG stood for and have seen it stamped on quite a few parts lately so I decided to look it up. After a good 10 minutes googling I hadn't found definitive answer. Someone said MOrris WOlseley Group, another said MOrris WOlseley Garages, another MOrris WOlseley mG. One person suggested one of the Os stood for Oxford but my favourite was that Mowog was the name of a gorilla employed by BMC in the early 60's who's job it was to do up the bolts on the crank case with a 6' breaker bar so that no mortal man could ever undo them. He then stamped his name into the steel parts with his bare hands to ever remind the industry of his presents.
I'm still unclear.
