Morris Minor Owners Club

and cars start sliding around behind you????

You could try white sprits - it might work..... failing that you could run the engine and let it drip off ;)

There used to be a little green logbook - which was actually a book, when the dvla computerised themselves (presumably in '77) you had the option to give them the old book or not, the previous owners of your car obviously chose not to, and be the 1st on the list.

you dont need to know, just look at the engine numbers, 10CC engine has the stronger bottom end

Maybe, but there are definately 2 variations on the 1098cc spridget the second one being made to address the weak bottom end in the 1st design

I have 2 1275 Sprites (same as midgets) although neither run (yet) i have done lots of reading on spriget history.... someone mentioned the 1098 spridet engines would be good for tuning, that is true but only the later ones. The earlier ones are 3 bearing units and are weak in the bottom end, to lat...

They are the same brakes as a marina!!! The spridgets are made from just about every other BL car at the time. The steering rack is a LH minor one turned upside down......

Mine lives with the heater on in summer and off in winter!

I have electric washers and when i had a problem with them(fortunately the carpet wasnt in at the time), the hose came of the N/S sprayer and flooded ;) the footwell
