Morris Minor Owners Club

Hmmmm my recent posting on this subject seems to have disappeared / deleted !!!

In my experience not all the cars from dealers are what the seem or should be . I have said this before on another similar posting. How many times do you see a minor for sale with "restored a few years ago by well known restorer / dealer but now requiring some tlc" Just because its at a de...

There is one on ebay.co.uk. 1954 Traveller. Still 803cc. Restored. Allegedly good service history. New MOT. Mileage confusing as listing states only 29000 miles but description suggests 60000 miles up to 1967. Only flaw mentioned is slight damage to rear seat cover. Asking price is £8250. It's been...

Yours is the right size for the year / model . later ones had the wider fibreboard type.

Now that's a refreshing change to see / hear.

I have the same problem and have done for a few years now ever since I took the speedo out for a check on the cable and laid the clock on the edge of the orifice with the ignition still on. It blew a fuse so things like the indicators etc. didn't work so the fuse was changed, everything else came ba...

If it was me tackling this then I would remove all paint and underseal with possibly a heat gun with scrapper attachment .Use a 4" hand grinder with firstly a Turks head wire brush attachment to remove the worst and then change the head for a medium grade flap disc to finish. And last and by no...

It's a long time over due but welcome. Shame about numerous images of parts unavailable but hey ho it's much the same on the other sites .Can't understand why though all the same.

Cherokee red I believe the correct name is of the interior colour.

I've walked away from a few cars these last few years that have had the wing pipeing painted over. I find it just shows that who ever did the respray doesn't have pride in they're work, or the person commissioning the paint job is trying to hide something possibly.

Mine was a 1974 Datsun 140j . My second was when I decided to upgrade and bought a 1968 two door maroon B Morris minor to which I carried out a running restoration and regretted selling it on ever since for a 1976 mini 1275 with full webasto sun roof and blooming expensive Denovo tyres. They were £3...

My mate wraps vehicles for a living and when he needs to remove them to renew he uses a hot air gun . He waves it over the wrap taking care not to get the area too hot and off it comes.

I fitted new engine rubbers back in January from ESM and they seem to ride well so far.

Rather than trust a weld repair why not buy a brand new one .I'm sure they're quite cheap to buy new.

Some 35 years plus ago there was a local guy that ran a Hillman Imp on battery power for years in aid of a charity which I forget which one now. He used to get hassled on a regular basis by the local ill informed bobbies as he didn't have a valid tax disc. I was speaking to his son some months ago b...

I have a number of wooden sheds at home and they've been up for, shed 1 over 50 years, shed 2 over 35 years and shed 3 over 30 years. All still in good condition with the oldest in very good condition and all treated every few years with used engine oil.

yeh

Rolls Royce has just announced their new Phantom model ...... I doubt they'll be converting that to electric in 2040 !

The loss of manufacturing jobs for petrol and diesel vehicles in Wales alone runs into in excess of 18000 ! They can't get the economy right in the last decade leave alone reinvent the car. As mentioned earlier, the infrastructure would need to be taken into account and I feel that it would take lon...

I have a 1969 convertible with disc brakes and I too have an intermittent clicking noise which was noticed by my MOT tester during last years test. He spent some time spinning the nearside front wheel while trying to trace the clicking to no avail. He duly past the car and he stated that "god k...
