Hello All!

I wonder if anyone could help. I'm getting married in September and my fiancé Hannah really wants a red 4 door Morris Minor!
Is it just me or is it impossible to find one?!
We're getting married in Stockport and the reception's in Swettingham.
If anyone knows where i could find one of these, I would be forever grateful!!

Thanks in advance

It might be difficult to find a red one!

Minors were never painted red from the factory, closest you'd find would be Maroon (B) I'd imagine.
There are some around, painted since leaving the factory by an owner, but you'd be hard pushed to find one in distance, as they never really existed.
I know of a red two door, and a red convertible, and a few red GPO/telephone vans, but no 4 doors unfortunately.
Were red PO vans painted red from the factory, or were they supplied in primer? (Sorry for the OT question).

Bidz and Chesney- thanks guys!
Blue or green would be OK if we can't find a red one. As long as it has 4 doors! If anyone hears of one we can hire in Cheshire, give me a shout!

Thanks again!

Blue or green are much easier to find ;)
Best of luck in finding one, and for the big day!
