Morris Minor Owners Club

A number of local branch members are seeing Insurance premiums through The Club scheme ( Footman James) increase by 25%+ year on year. Is this a result of moving from Equity Red Star to Royal and Sun Alliance? Memebers quoted considerably less (30%+) for like for like insurance with PD James. What a...

Phil Barrattt should have the contact details

Well done to Phil Barratt and the team at the Manchester Branch for organising a very successful Regional Rally at Capesthorne Hall. Over 70 Morris Minors atteneded and there were over 1000 Classic Cars at the show. Fantastic weather and plenty to see and do. Tom Roy brought his trailer and had a go...

Couple of points - is this the date of registration or date the car was built?

Will this make it easy for anyone with a pre 1960's car which is laid up to sell the registration number?

I would agree a proper classified section would be far better and solve all the issues with the forum appraoch to selling a car

Does the trim that surrounds the speedo on a post 1964 Minor have a name?

I have been looking for one of these and the chrome trim pieces and can't see them listed on any of the usual parts suppliers websites

Many changes and new links page:

This is now closedd - Thanks

... and Ads removed when the item is sold....

Am I the only one that would like the For Sale and Wanted section of the board to be that just that - listings of items for sale (or wanted), rather the endless additional postings which are not relevant and then make it hard to see what is actually for sale now, rather than here is a listing on eba...

Is any one planning to spray their car Old English White? If so could you get in touch.

Thanks

Thanks for the link - very interesting.

I was wondering if anyone had used the Glipstone / Liquid Leather as it doesn't use aersol and is £58 for enough to do all the seats. Woolies is quite a bit more judging from the commentary.

My Red vinyl seats are in good condition but a little faded over time.

Has anyone used the Glipstone / Liquid Leather recolouring ket to bring their seats back to life?

I am interested to see how they look and how they wear over time?

Comments appreciated

Do you have a nice Morris Minor avaialble for a wedding on 3rd June 2012 in the Sheffield area? Its a one way trip for a 2:30 wedding at Kenwood hall Sheffield going from Netheredge Sheffield. A white convertible would be ideal but any Morris considered PM me with details Mike http://www.weddingclas...

I have been speaking to a company that does custom made luggage for classic cars. They don't currently do a set for the Minor but will do if there is any interest. The web site is http://www.hillsalive.co.uk/index.shtml but suggest you leave a comment against this posting if you are interested to ga...

I am trying to update the manchester branch website and it is giving an invalid username / password.

Is there a problem or have the previous details expired?

Will a standard 1098cc manifold and carb fit a 1275cc Marina engine?

Yes I started this website, but I wouldn't call it a business as I don't expect it will make any money with the set up and promotion needed. Yes it is early days and I am looking to sign up the first owners - but facebook and twitter had to start somewhere! (Not that I would expect the numbers to be...

What sort of money did you charge?
