Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for all your help,I need a bit of further advice ,when you shut the hood you can get a finger in the gap between the screen and the wooden bottom of the hood where the screws go in,surely there shouldn't be much gap otherwise water would pour in in the rain,how do you ever drive these conver...

Welcome aboard moggymate :-) Hope you enjoy playing and driving with your minor. many of the early 1000 cars shared features that could be traced back to the earlier split screen models - the 'clap hands' wipers being just one of these. It took them until the mid sixties to get round to giving the c...

It also helps to ensure that the window is folded away evenly too. It may seem a bit odd to drill a hole there but I have to be honest and say, in all the 30+ years I have been minoring, I have never seen that hood stick ever be rotten so I guess it must work. I put a small amount of clear mastic un...

Excellent job, George. You have a great car there - well done ;-)

Doesn't immediately ring a bell but will keep my eyes open. According to the DVLA it is still on the road: Date of Liability: 01 02 2015 Date of First Registration: 01 07 1971 Year of Manufacture: 1971 Cylinder Capacity (cc): 1275cc CO₂ Emissions: Not Available Fuel Type: PETROL Export Marker: N Veh...

Absolutely agree with that :-) Here's the link to the BBC website with the story. Just seeing two on the airfield at Coningsby is enough to bring a lump to your throat. What a tremendous effort from the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum staff to even consider allowing their priceless aircraft to tra...

In all honesty, you can save yourself a HUGE amount of time and work if you marry the 803 tailshaft segment of your 803 box to the main gearbox casing of your 948 box having first removed the remote gear lever extension portion from your 948 box. It is a very simple job and has been done many times ...

Further update - VR-A (Vera) is on her way. The CWHM Lancaster took off bound for RAF Coningsby , Lincolnshire this afternoon and is due to arrive on Friday at 1.30pm. Here is a pic from the CWHM facebook page of VR-A setting off. https://www.facebook.com/#!/CanadianWarplaneHeritageMuseum/photos/a.3...

OK well, I'll keep looking in my area - really hope you get the chance to do your trip :-) The car in the advert you posted a link to looks fairly sound. I would think you would want to renew all the brakes and tyres for your trip anyway but as far as the structure goes it looks fairly sound. Good l...

Sorry Jose - it seems my mention of Canada has hi-jacked your original thread - Apologies for that - please folks - if you wanna talk about Canada send me a pm

Is the car on the link I sent you too expensive??

Location noted Richard - will def look you up when the trip gets going ;-)

Hello from CANADA and best wishes. You will have the trip of your life,one to remember forever. You have picked the perfect car for your adventure. Good luck. Richard Similar to Jose, I too am planning a once in a lifetime trip. OK it's gonna be mega-expensive and will probably take at least three ...

¡Hola Jose :-) Sounds like a great trip. Try this car - it's up in Lincoln (the middle of the UK) but I know the family who are selling it and it is just at the top of your price range but it is a very sound car :-) keep us posted on your progress :-) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-2-door-Morris-Min...

CM is a Birkenhead reg no if that helps at all.

Hi John, In fairness to Roy (bmcecosse) I think it was me who suggested that you might obtain a heritage certificate to obtain factory records for your car. After all, these are seen to be THE definitive stats and numbers and are often used as evidence to DVLA when disputes arise over registration n...

I think that's the bit I'm looking forward to most

Been meaning to come over for a couple of years now but 'events' have always managed to scupper my plans. Spoke to a few guys from the branch at the national last weekend so just counting the days now and really looking forward to the trip. I come over from Cairnryan to Larne on 22nd and am staying ...

Mmm, mine was related to the o/s/r light unit - probably water in the lamp unit causing the short. To avoid a similar scenario I fitted an in-line fuse - like the later cars had - to stop a repeat of the fault causing so much damage. It was only after a few owners reported this happening that they a...

Oh dear Steve - have been there, done that and got yards of old undamaged loom to show for my troubles! what was the fault?
