Morris Minor Owners Club

This has come up before re publishing on an alternate month to Minor Matters. Apparently Russ says this is not possible due to publishers printing slot!

Can anyone give me a contact e-mail please for Russell Harvey? The link above is for subscription only.
Regards ......... Peter

When Minor Monthy folded I had taken out a full subscription and only ever received one copy! I have never received any reimbursement of my outstanding subscription monies. Neither have I received any notification of re commencement of publication! Where do I stand regarding this new publication? Is...

Danish oil is very good! But is certainly not recommended by specialist Traveller restorers because it has no UV protection! And of course the sun does as much damage, if not more than the rain. There are oils that are recommended but not Danish oil. Yacht varnish! Good until the damp gets under, an...

Hi All
Wondering if any one has had the £2,500 full frame rebuild at Traveller Timbers, Hull? Can they recommend? And exactly just what this includes, head lining, etc. Unfortunately I shall need to have this done in the not too distant future!

Yes, Brilliant day out in Manchester today. We were very pleased that the Lancs. Branch had two winning cars in the first four!

Just been up in the loft! My FT101ZD fired up! the TenTec low power rig is still there must try that. Now where did I hide that 2m handheld, might get it going with new batteries!, LOL

Hi Chris!

Didn't know you were a radio ham! We will have more to talk about at the club mechanics day than Moggies. LOL.

Cheers .......... Peter, G4LDD (He who thought your Traveller too good to buy, lol.)

If he had a "B" license it would probably be G8; If an "A" G3.

Great! You will enjoy 'ham' radio and will be surprised just how well 2 metres does perform! Have a go at CW (Morse), I think you only have to achieve about 5 words per min. these days. Used to be 12 for A license! But once you get going 15/20 WPM is a nice speed. Good Luck.

I haven't done any for a few years now! Still have a FT101ZD in the loft. Used to operate mostly CW on HF bands. And was very active with the RSARS award. Call sign ..... G4LDD _ _ . ...._ ._.. _.. _.. _._ _. LOL

Wow! Yes, no problem with my Series II heater in my Traveller. Pull leaver out lovely on knees and feet, push leaver in de mists fairly quickly. I have the valve set to max. and leave it in that position all year round. I believe they are more efficient than the later "updated" versions .....

Thanks for that! 'nuff said.

Gentlemen! Thank you. I am about to push the boat out and order the full Monty on e-bay....... A fully fitted Accu-spark Dizzy. I will keep my old Dizzy as spare for emergencies! Or more likely be 'stolen' by my son for his '65 Saloon, lol. Can you please give me a little more detail about this 'spo...

OK, that does it! Leave the Traveller (1098) over 10 days and she is a pig to start! So, Electronic Ignition! Not whys and wherefores or even fitting at this stage! I am seeking recommendations of make please (that will not break the bank!) Also I notice "fitting kit" ?? and do they fit an...

Thanks gentlemen! Yes, the block is painted silver, so I guess it is a works 'short 'reconditioned engine. What is likely to have been done on a silver recon. engine? Crankshaft?
Regards ......... Peter

After reading the thread (Engine ID), I checked my own engine number as seen on the 'alli. riveted plate' attached to the block. Unfortunately I can't relate this number to any source of reference! Can anyone give me any idea as to what these letters/numbers refer to, ie age, type etc. .......... RK...

The Traveller advertised on this forum in Bristol is certainly worth considering at that price. IMHO.
Regards .............. Peter ..................... I have no connection with the vendor.

I have a similar problem! I learned to drive in a MM Black 2-Door Saloon ECB 833. I am trying now to establish its year of birth. DVLA records suggest it is scraped, is there any way to find its year of birth?
Regards .......... Peter

Well! The best advice really is leave this car. If there is rust then it is overpriced! I paid £4,500 early this year for a car that was advertised at £5,250, there is no rust and it had not seen a drop of rain for 11 years! That is certainly the secret with Travellers. Just completed 1,600 miles tr...
