Turquoise
Cream
Black
Clarendon Grey
Birch Grey
Dark Green

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

well the top part of the carpet is supposed to fold over the top and screw in along the top underneath the rear seat, if that helps.

A friend was trying to tell me today that tidy Minors are now worth 10 grand!! Apparently he'd read that in Practical Classics. Alas, I've found the article that I think your friend was talking about it's in 'Classic and sports car' magazine, it's an interview with Charles Ware and he stated that m...

duotone seats where only between 62 - 64 i think, but the DL had leather seats and i think in the earlier models you could only get a heater with DL spec. Were windscreen washers a DL extra aswell?

'Rod' Stewart

And what about 'Mike and the mechanics'

If i remember rightly madness were previously called 'Morris and the minors'

Hmmmm, looking in the haynes restoration manual it states that they were body coloured up until October 1956 and were then in light grey till '59 when they became OEW.

While we're on the subject, just wondering, did all minor 1000s have a flashing green indicator stalk? even the ones with trafficators?

Sorry I havent got any photos but I do know of a couple of minors in the Northamptonshire branch with seatbelts from the outside inwards. So I'm going to try and fit them the same way on mine, I'll send you some pics in a few months time when I've put my minor back together!

If you buy the seatbelts new from Bull Motif they are priced at roughly £25 for 1 inertia seatbelt or £15 for a static one. For the back it is common to see the reels on the parcel shelf at the back in the middle with the other loose end next to the door. I'll try and find a photo later. Why do you ...

Well I've only been in the minor scene for less than a year and I'm not even old enough to drive yet but being the 'beginner who needs all the help he can get' I get given everyone elses spares at the branch meetings, I also managed to find an ex-moggy restorer and bought everything that was left in...
