And I thought my Trav was rusty! If the Morry looks as good as the beetle does when you are finished we are in for a treat!

I am surprised you managed to stop at the word toerag. Sorry to hear about that, I'm afraid its a bit far for me - It would take most of the weekend to get to you and back in Blackie! Good luck for getting the roof sorted.

As good as a modern car! I used to fly round in Horrace and I'm sure he was getting near on 40mpg. Makes me wonder what he would have done if I'd driven him sensibly!

Fantastic! I have to admit, my old Morris (Horrace) I'd have jumped in and driven anywhere. The new one is a bit less reliable, but its only a simple issue i've now got to the bottom of! What would you guess your average mpg was for the day?!

My answer is slghtly less technical than above - when the valves are making dents in the bonnet its time to go up a cog! :)

I had just worked out the cause of the problem when he arrived, but it was nice to have some moral support! Seems the spring that opens and closes the points was touching the metal body of the dizzy near where the condensor connects to it. Wrapped a load of insulating tape around and seems to be ok ...

Thanks to the White Knight of Wiltshire!

Just a long shot but should the driver of a white Traveller from Tisbury, Wiltshire be reading this, I would like to thank him for stopping and assisting with Blackie during his daily breakdown today! I couldn't believe it when the very next car to come round the corner was another Morris! The guy s...

4 Spoke Revolutions

Good evening all.

Has anyone ever seen a Minor on 4 spoke revolutions? I have a 64 traveller in black, and think 4 spokes revolutions in black with silver rim would look quite smart. If anyone has a picture it would be a great help!

Regards,

Sam.

Hi, We are able to fit a Mammas and Pappas base and seat in our 62 traveller. The seatbelt is only just long enough but once clipped in its fine. Out 8 month daughter loves riding around in it! Most of the big shops will let you try them to ensure a decent fit before purchasing. hope this helps!

Seeking advice on wheel arch repair

Hi all. I wonder if you could cast your eyes over this little treat i've discovered today. Its located in the back wheel arch of '64 Traveller, and runs along the length of the seam where the the wheel arch attaches to the body. My question is this, how easy is it to remove the rear arch on a Travel...

Which oil for Traveller Wood?

Hi everyone. I am sure this has been discussed before, but I've had a good hunt through the forum and can't find a conclusive answer! What is the best oil to use on my Traveller's wood? I think the last oil used was Tung oil. Would it be best to carry on using that or is there a better product? Its ...

Pleased to report that after a weekend of driving, it hasn't missed a beat! Although i think the clutch is on its way out as its very juddery when pulling away, and I suspect it to be a 998cc not a 1098cc! Is there any way of knowing this without looking at the engine plate (which i can't do because...
