Morris Minor Owners Club

Out on a run last Saturday!

I re painted needle on my tourer an when I went to start it after its rebuild I had no oil pressure, this was a couple of issues the first one being that the paint had stuck the needle to the stop!! A knackered oil pump was another cause but at least when the glass was taken off the gauge the needle...

This weekend should of been the National Rally, I had planned on taking this tourer over. Its almost finished, still some interoir work to complete and sill finishers to fit. Yesterday I got the bumpers back on so it is definitely looking more complete now. Still needs some tuning up as well, but ge...

BUMP!

The MMOC Series MM Website has been updated and a new register form is available! If you own a Series MM please fill in the form and sent it to Richard or myself and we can update the register. Also if you would like to send some pictures of your MM to be included in the website. http://seriesmm.mmo...

Its amazing the way the grease can dry out and harden. The tourer Ive been working on was the same, also the wiper wheel boxes were seized partly due to corrision and also the fact they had been painted over!

Keep up the great work!

There has been a lot of progress since my last post, here is a link to the engine running for the first time

Its also had its first road run in about 40 years!! 20 miles covered now! Still lots of jobs to do but getting there

Still not arrived in Northern Ireland, last issue was also very late and apparently had been posted overseas...........

Great to have so many original items!

The tourer Im working on has been stripped at some point and lots of bits missing, i gradually trying to replace with the proper bits as i go along

Quite a stash of windscreen clips there, you could corner the market!

Great progress!

Some more progress, Im doing a full restoration update on Morris Minor Series MM page on facebook.

I bet that speedo never did 70mph before, Im sure it wont ever again!

Was that the car that was on Ebay? It looked excellent and a great find! Avery early series 11 as weill, does it have the square axle? There is a Juy 53 4 door about a mile from me with only 14000 odd miles on it, its in fantastic orignal condtion. This one probably has the old MM type brake cylinde...

Back in the day when hand written log book changes were the norm it was ok to use the Irish number and this continued for many years. The Irish Government clamped down on numbers being sold when a Z only plate was sold for an extreme amount of money. Now if you have a car with an Irish number unless...

Id suggest it was first registered in Mainland GB in 56, ZE is an old southern Irish number plate. From the blurry photo it looks like a proper short beonnet car and on DVLA page it says 918cc.

This has reminded me that my copy of Minor Matters hasnt arrived yet!

I had this build up in my Austin 10 in the aluminum waterways (almost completely blocking it) when there was no antifreeze in it, doesnt seem to happen with the old blue type anti freeze in it.

Some more progress, engine and gearbox back in yesterday! Had lots of willing helpers in the garage yesterday

Wishing you all a great Christmas!!!

Saw this picture on facebook and had to borrow it!

Repairs all done underneath and given a coat of primer.

Some more progress lately, tipped on its side to scrape off some old body scutz that I dont like and also to sort out a few areas that needed some tidying up. Thankfully no rot! We also made some pressings in the floor as at some point its been fitted with a flat steel floor section which flexed ann...
