Morris Minor Owners Club

Wind?

Alcohol...nitromethane...?

Since heart surgery I watch the ingredients. Quorn is good and versatile and has the added bonus of much increased flatulence. Makes one sound more like a Morris Minor on occasion.

Second gear dropping out on the overrun was the one I had

Ganja

It's had a replacement engine and bodyshell...Basically a ringer
Trigger's broom anyone?

Hoses off, core plugs out and blast the block waterways out. I once blew out a coreplug due to blockages. Once I'd blasted out all the silt, rust and gubbins the block it ran cooler for years. The sudden eruption is likely somewhat of a steamhammer effect

The lovely blue Minor hotrod is the Slaters' Cosworth 4x4. A lovely thing indeed.

The seller has no knob. Unfortunate.

This is what had, mounting position is ideal and quarter light does not create an issue.

Agreed, the window frame 'clip-on' style looks so much more period (and is more use in my experience)

Seabrooks ready salted have no equal

I also worked for the REME in the late 80s and remember the old 6x6 Scammells - wonderful beasts. We also had a 1951 Commer Tels Truck with just 3600 miles on it. It had done more miles on ships than its wheels

Cockerel

Nice one...

Does it even better if the back box is missing!

Changing down from second to first on the hairpins must have presented a bit of a challenge!

That's where years of practice 'heel and toeing' came in. Change early and carry the revs. As long as you don't come to a standstill it'll climb anything. (Apart from the bank at Robin Hoods Bay)

A friend had 1303 lights on his 56, fitted OK but didn't look right IMHO

I've done the Lakeland passes in a 948cc Minor and it's challenging, even with a low ratio SII dif. Very steep climb, a lot of first gear and vital to avoid missed gear changes. Avoiding cooked brakes on the way down is even more difficult. I was glad of a spare set as they glazed to hell!
