Re: 1968 Police Morris Minor

Re: Servicing in Surrey.

I personally would look elsewhere lot of problems' with my Morris since it came back missing parts that it went with, rubbish paint job as already flaking off, parts not welded on that it needs plus they farmed it out to another to do the work.
