Re: Morris minor million
I think that they are just the people to speak to. Very rare cars. What needs doing?

Re: Morris minor million
That's coming along very nicely . Are you doing the work yourself?
Re: Morris minor million
Sent the rolling shell to Charles Ware. Swept much of it up from my garage floor when it left on their truck.
It was way beyond my welding skills and apparently one of the worst they've ever seen..
I've dealt with all the "easy" stuff!
Have got V5 with original registration now and it turns out I'm only the second owner.

Re: Morris minor million
Looks excellent, It shows what can be done even with an apparent no hoper, Just look at the rot in those chassis legs! Nice modification of the front wings to take the correct side lights.

The only change from its factory spec is negative earth. Oh and not cellulose paint.
I'm still trying to find a set of the original wheel embellishers as they were gone.

They were also fitted to the Riley 1.5 if that helps.

Beautiful job.
Millions are rare and you can't mess about with them.
Good luck!

Re: Morris minor million
They'll see you right, but it won't be cheap!
As they are such rare cars, you'll do better than I did with my bog standard minors!

Re: Morris minor million
They’ve been really professional and fair with all their estimates coming in under budget . I would recommend them without hesitation.

Re: Morris minor million
Just amazing.
Looks like it rolled straight off the assembly line.
