Morris Minor Owners Club

Somebody I know loaned his concours Cortina 1600E to the BBC for an Andrew Marr programme, they promptly drove it though a quarry .

Many thanks! Yes, it's a lot of hard work, but great fun.We enrolled loads of new members too, and met so many people I think I'd need a complete thread to name them all! Winning "Club Of The Year" was the icing on the cake. More silver for the Club trophy cupboard! :D The sandwich mindin...

I’ll be easy to spot. Just look for the bloke with the grown up daughter saying ‘’yes dad very nice, now lets go to the MR2 stand’’

Looking forward to visiting the NEC on Sunday. Has anybody been yet?
What are the must see bits and are there any don’t bother bits?

Look forward to that.
I’m coming with my daughter so I’ve a feeling the MR2 owners club stand will be the first stop like it or not.

I'm going Sunday.

At the national last year a guy was looking at my car and said he had just spent £5.00 short of 20k on restoring his van. I remember being quite shocked but it was his money and his van and if he gets pleasure from it I say good luck to him.

Welcome to the site, not the best start to ownership by the sound of it. I’m sure things will get better and you will enjoy owning a minor, there are lots of people on here who will give you any advice you need to keep your car on the road.

It might just be that Halfords still had stock of the correct tinters . Most specialist bodyshops will mix to spec but can only use the tinters that are now available, the same goes for 2K . The celly and 2K markets are shrinking quickly and most bodyshop paint suppliers will no longer stock new ti...

Needed to buy some Trafalgar Blue paint for a small repair last week so went to a specialist automotive paint supplier and bought small can they mixed while I waited, cost £17.30 +vat result colour match a mile out. In desperation went to my local Halfords and purchased a can they mixed while I wait...

free entrance is probably unreasonable to expect given organisation, insurance, site rental and other costs. But I would expect a low fee for cars and something for public on a per head basis. Reasonable fee to me would be around 1 to 5 pounds for a car (and no charge for occupants) with public cha...

I have just downloaded a form to show my car at an event aimed at raising money for a number of charities. The form asks for £5.00 per car plus £3.50 for each passenger just to display if paid in advance. On the day it is £15.00 per car plus £3.50 per passenger, public entry is £5.00 per person. The...

Fuel starvation on tick over.

A really good day, shame my Traveller decided to be grumpy on the way down but a bit of tinkering and all was well on the way home.

Sadly I won’t be able to attend this year because of health problems but I hope you all have a good time.

I hoping to come if its on.

I use Autoaid which is a claim back insurance policy, for £36.00 a year it covers you and a partner not the cars so there is no car age limit. If you breakdown you ring the number and they send out one of their approved repair / recovery people. You have to pay the bill and claim the cost back from ...

Just a small article in Minor Matters explaining the awards process and asking members to submit nominations, either by post or e-mail, would help It's been suggested already, for this exact reason. Do we have a suggestion box which is very close to the bin? It seems to me that very few suggestions...
