Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi folks.

I have acquired CCF 304 a romain green tourer built in September 1949.

Does anyone have any info or history on the car please? I can go back as far as 2006. The car once belonged to a Chris Miles of Kent. Any info appreciated.

Thanks Paul Temple

Located near Ollerton, on the edge of historic Sherwood Forest, this 150 acre park is one of Nottinghamshire’s most popular visitor attractions. At the heart of the park are the picturesque remains of a 12th century Cistercian monastery and later country house. Around them lie gardens, meadow and wo...

Looking forward to seeing friends old and new at the National

Hi Guys,

I spoke to a chap the other day and blue engines again came up. He seems to think that blue engines were issued for the Royal Navy! Not sure how watertight a Morris is though when on the water

Hi, I have 2 803cc series II engines and both originally came painted with Blue Blocks. I believe they are just paint colours and had something to do with the Austin works?? Anyway, I thought I would just let you know that there are a few out there that go back to 803 and I have also heard of a 948 ...

The venue is fantastic and the day promises to be a good one. There is lots to see and do at the park including the Abbey, gardens, cra...

Hi everyone, As we ended 2009 it became apparent that we needed to move to a larger venue. We have now found the ideal place after meeting there last month (January) for our New Year Dinner. The Hutt Pub is on the A60 in Ravenshead, right opposite the main gate of Newstead Abbey. There is a large ca...

We have had a great response to the rally so far. Although the closing date was 30th July we have a few additional park passes in reserve for late entries. If you wish to join us please send your cheque to Pete our Secretary asap so we can send you out your rally pack.

See you all on the day

Hi Guys, What do you say to the idea of a 'Twinning' of Sad and Mad? We are at the National this year on Branch Avenue and I thought it might make a different and light hearted piece for the MM edition if we met up, took some photos etc. Let me know what you think and we will see you at the weekend ...

Well the good news is that the new disti has solved all the 'lumping' engine problems. The old disti was very worn and the spindle was rocking a fair bit.

I will see how the engine runs and then check the plugs again to see if the oil reapears in the plug.

Thanks everyone for your help

On further investigation the weights and springs were all over the place. I was going to try and build a disti from two old ones but as the drive to the National is over 200 miles I did not really want to trust my 'mechanic' skills that much :-) I have owned the car for 17 years and thought I might ...
