Morris Minor Owners Club

Our moggy has a prob which we're finding hard to identify. It's a 65 convertible and is negative earth. Symptoms are:- - starts ok then begins to lose power after 1/4 mile or so - this is accompanied by some misfiring which gets worse with some banging in the exhaust - finally it won't respond to t...

Please can somebody post a pic of the location of the body number plate .. I think I might have lost mine beneath a lot of layers of paint. These links might help with A series and chassis plates http://www.mgcars.org.uk/mgccy/pdf/enginehist.pdf http://www.morris-minor.co.uk/p70.htm http://www.themi...

Having been to Stanford Hall a few times in the distant past when I used to live nearby I can say that it has lots of experience of holding big car rallies. It has .... lots of space ... plenty of room for games, football etc? a lake where they used to hold hovercraft championships .. raft race? eas...

Tekaloid Coach Enamel is the stuff to use - as recommened by the proper restorers of horse drawn carriages (ie not me). When I last ordered some it was personally delivered to my door. I ordered a tin of the thinners with the paint - it comes in tins. Its quite tricky to use on vertical surfaces, bu...

I plan to join you in Coventry for the morning, but I will skip the afternoon run. I have not been to Coventry since the Millenium - where exactly is the Millenium Square? Can anybody give me a street name as its not on my old map. From memory navigating Coventry's inner ring road and the one way sy...

Darren We are very concerned about your breakdown and we realise that we are at fault as we did not have an emergency contact number. That section at Fossebridge is notoriously dangerous as one of the few overtaking places on the Fosse Way. Thank goodness you had the good sense to carry and put out ...

Thanks for coming along to Bourton to support the GMMG rally today - glad to hear you made it home without a paddle. Nice underwater photos.

Thanks to everybody who came to Bourton under Water today to support our rally despite the terrible weather. The turnout was suprisingly good even if most of the convertibles did not show up! The lovely ladies from Stroud were still able to do a bit of Morris Dancing in the rain. The rally results w...

Sorry, can't make this one, a new shed calls :evil: Ahh Judge you are a man of property - you are making us all jealous now with the thought of an empty shed. :P Or is it the one on page 31 of the Sept/Oct 2006 MM? How about emptying out the old one and bringing the auto jumble along to the rally i...

Just a quick update. We have about 90 entries confirmed now. Can we make a 100? Our friends, the lovely ladies from Stroud, will be coming along to entertain you anytime after 11am. We suggest you dont post any more entry forms now, please just come along and we will do our best to welcome you. If y...

Is it too late to send of an entry form now? Not a convertible. No, as above we welcome all Minors and interesting classics, please send your entry form in! The rally programme will hopefully be finished a few days before the rally so please try to post your form and £7 cheque to GMMG to arrive on ...

Hello Rasputin No its never too late to enter - we would like to see you! This is the rally entry form link . The entry fee is £7. However it really does help us with the organisation (ok disorganisation) if you could all send your forms in asap. If you want to turn up on the day we will still charg...

Calling all Convertibles! Please send me a private message if you are coming to our rally in a convertible/tourer and are up for a bit of afternoon silliness. Without giving the game away, 15 of our good friends, the lovely ladies from Stroud, will be joining us and we need to transport them around ...

Hello everybody Just an update to say thanks for the 50+ entries that we have had already. We have ordered some more rally plaques and we have lots of room so we look forward to seeing you all. Please click here to download the 21st Anniversary Rally application form. The entry fee is £7. Please sen...

Graham we would like to see you! Here is a link to the map for the Cotswold School, GL54 2BD. The directions from the A429 Fosse Way are to take the signposted turning into Bourton on the Water by the traffic lights. The Cotswold School is then on your right after a few hundred yards. If anybody can...

The GMMG 21st Anniversary Rally is being held in the grounds of The Cotswold School, Bourton-on-the-Water on Sunday 13th May. We have returned to Bourton again by popular demand and we have more space for what we hope will be our largest rally ever! It is also the GMMG 21st Anniversary and we hope ...

See if you can find a car with an aftermarket tow bar in a scrap yard - it may have a warning buzzer normally fitted near the rear light cluster.

If you find a scrap MG Midget gearbox they come with a reversing light switch. I picked up one at last years National rally. Its brass, the size of a cork and screws in near the gear stick. You need to fit the remote selector housing from the MG gearbox to the Minor but they are identical apart from...
