Morris Minor Owners Club

The first respray I had done was in a cave...
It looked like a little garage, but it was a facade on a cave . Matlock, 1995 . He did a decent job too.

What, cold in your part of the country

Try putting the car in gear and rocking it, if the starter has jammed that may free it.
Or free it up by spannering the nut on the end of the starter.

Six miles north of the ‘toon?
That must be Wideopen/Seaton Burn. I was a member of Seaton Burn club 45 years ago, still got my card!

I think that most of these products are effective if applied correctly and regularly. When I bought my 1955 Austin A30 , about ten years ago it was almost totally rust free and original.

I suspect that they are snake oil, but there’s one on my baby Austin and seems to do no harm.

There was a funny ‘Not the 9 o’clock News’ sketch about that many years ago.
The cashier had a little button to push to make the pump tick over by a penny

A great result

Alice, there’s something needs sorting. It’s probably not a serious issue, but you must get someone with experience to check it over.
