Morris Minor Owners Club

They look like instruments of torture,Les.

Ten years ago I treated myself to rebuilt Traveller from Charles Ware. It’s been fabulous,and I got the spec that I wanted...1275 engine,5 speed box etc. But it was expensive and has depreciated somewhat. I’m not bothered as it’s used almost daily and it’s a keeper. One like mine would now cost near...

Does anyone remember drinking Camp ‘coffee’?
Like a syrup with coffee and chicory. Truly foul. My grandfather loved it and insisted that his grandchildren drank it.
We used to pour it into his flowerpots when he was looking the other way

Get an MOT from a classic friendly garage. Well worth the money,and they’ll put you right. You can’t mess around with dodgy steering or brakes.

I’m told that van rims are good for taking 165 tyres. Well, that’s what I’ve been using for the past ten years,after advice on here. The car sits well on them.

I’ve just ordered ten! ...just joking...

Hmm...originality. I suspect that cars of that era didn’t come out of the factory as identical as modern cars. Bits that they had to hand got used.
There are some really puzzling cars in the baby Austin world, with some very odd A30/A35 hybrids.

Indeed, and everyone has a right to their own opinion...and an obligation to respect the opinion of others.

I’ve got to the age where I’m thinking of booking the Minor hearse

They make car washing a pain. Unless you take it off every time...
Like all the stuff that was on my old Landy when I got it! I’ve kept the ladder as it’s useful when the roof needs a clean. Otherwise decluttered.

Got the final MOT for the fleet today... 5 cars,one a fortnight, no advisories. I’m well chuffed

We’re in Derbyshire. You’re very welcome to come and have a look at our cars. They’re not for sale but might give you an idea whether a Minor would suit you. We’ve got a saloon and a modified (1275) Trav.

I guess London will be more expensive, but up here a decent respray will be north of £2k.

I know, we followed google to the local tourism site...big mistake.

beware of google! It only opens Friday,Saturday and Sunday... a bit disappointing after a fourth minute drive

Remember that these cars were built to an affordable price! All the desirable extras would have made them too expensive for their market. Most families in those days struggled to buy a couple of bikes!

Seems it is dog friendly and round the corner from the biggest collection of Austin A30/35’s in the world!

Look after yourself Chris!

Once in a while I toy with the idea of getting a phone with a camera, then I think no,my wife loves doing things like that. No point in having a dog and doing your own barking
