Something to do with Morris and India?

Yes, Morris Minor. This was the easy part. Where built? And what is special on it?

No, it is a special car part, easy to identify on the picture

Outside mounted spare that looks so wrong on Minor for plenty of reasons?

Yes, you are right. But this isn't what I am looking for. As also not the rear fender skirts. The part, I am asking for is of far larger dimension

Unusual materials for the bodywork? Like say rubber fenders?

No
But there is an additional part on the car, that used another material than steel

Not spare wheel, not skirts but big one... Hmmm... Top made from aluminium or probably even wood?

Yes, it is the special roof. But it isn't made of aluminium, as also not of wood...

Now or finally I can see the unusually slim and acurate rear window... One piece plexiglass?

Yes. The car has a special fibreglass roof. Now I need to know from you: Which company produced this Morris Minor fibreglass hardtop?

I'm afraid I can't solve it. It'd be better to unlock the puzzle. Thanks a lot for clues but it's a bit too much for me it seems ))

It's obscure local coachbuilder or pretty well known one?

It's not a coachbuilder, it is a manufacturer of accessories
