Sorry - I should have realised that "No Morris bits" rules out all BMC and BMC-based cars, including the Gilbern with its MG engine, which being B-series had 90% commonality with Morris engines and into the bargain had Morris Minor rack and pinion steering.

So, not Reliant, not BMC, with those small wheels is it Imp-based?

No Rootes/Chrysler bits that I am aware of either!

No, it's not an official Vauxhall product and it's much later than 1970.
