Morris Minor Owners Club

What was the auction, unusual for a million to be available and not have prior knowledge on the forums ? Do you know what it sold for, purely for interest as to what an unrestored Million (assuming its genuine) is worth, I'm guessing £5000 ?? Given they are selling for £15k + restored.

You can apply for the full history of your car with the DVLA and they give you a list of all the previous keepers, it costs £5, something else I need to get round to doing. My Traveller still has its original reg no and is an Oxford area reg no, I'm hoping it may have been a factory car from Cowley....

Well its been SORN again this year, so it still survives. Someones looking after it either in a garage or driveway somewhere. It'll appear on ebay one day as its nolonger known to the club.

I wouldn't drive it anywhere untill its reregistered with the DVLA, I believe you have to send them photographic evidence in tha absecence of local DVLA office closures. Police cars are all fitted with recognition systems that link to Road Tax, Insurance and MOT databases. (Hence tax discs are nolon...

Be Careful with the roll cage, I've heard insurance companies need to be notified and I hope you have a spare £500 for your 1275 engine !! Sounds like a cool project - what number are you having painted on the doors ??

A mint convertible is worth similar money to a Traveller. If it was genuine yes £16k would be alot but not unrealistic. If a mint 1000 Convertible is worth £10k, I would say a mint converted Series 2 Saloon would be worth £12k. Anything over £10k for a Minor has to be special and I think a low light...

Well a complete wood kit fitted is just under £3000 and that is without any welding or preparation !! So add on wheel arch repairs and across the back in the corner you'll be looking at £4000. Add then the price of a full respray, done professionally, I would say £3000 and again, thats without sills...

Welcome my fellow Traveller, time to get the T-cut out and start enjoying. They come up a treat with abit of effort. The only advice I can give is if your car starts stuttering and being all juddery, first thing to do is replace the condenser. !! They only cost a fiver and even I managed it. Thats t...

Qwerty, your 3rd photo down of the Black 1275 Splitscreen Traveller, has me in the background Woollarding with Woody, my 1961 Traveller !! It looks like a Classic Top Gear interview from the 80s.

If the doors open at 10am, I'm hopping over the fence at 9am for the autojumble bargins. See you all Sat.

This is getting fun for Friday Crew, I'm setting off from Sheffield on Saturday at 7.30am all being well. Anyone in North Sheff, Barnsley, East Hudds area ??

That a lovely original looking car, the woods not really rotten and it has the original lights and Trafficators. Mines a 61 and the interior is a nightmare (original 2nd hand) to find as it's the wide slat leather. In this condition, needing minimal work for an MOT, I would say it's worth £2250 to £...

I too am going on Saturday, (paying on the door) very early from North Sheffield, happy to travel with anyone (safety in numbers and all that) if anyone is passing Barnsley area at 7am poss 7.30am ish. I plan to do a steady 55 behind a lorry with stops every 40 min !

£300 by the police, that's daylight robbery. I'd be glad to get my car back but I'd also be asking if that includes them delivering it back to you and a full valet. Assuming they even bothered to fingerprint check it?

I always wondered if the rear bases on 2drs also fitted Travellers?

Plenty of people on the Morris Minor Facebook pages slagging them off the other week.
Their website seems good but I always deal with ESM.

Mine is a mid-61 Traveller and I don't have glovebox lids or the chrome trim but I do have holes for the hinges so they must have been removed at some time. On the lookout for some. Does only the passenger lid have a holding bar?, I'm assuming the drivers does not have one as the steering column act...

The M1 and up round Leeds is nice and flat.

You should all use the M1, from Birmingham all the way round Leeds to the A1 it's 50mph roadworks as they are replacing crash barriers. And, Friday afternoons are always busy from about 3pm (this is good for minors as it slows the traffic). I think a lot of Southerners finish work early on a Friday ...

This is a great idea and as your route will be passing and skirting around London up the M1 past Birmingham, Leicester, Notts, Sheffield, Leeds and York. You have the potential to pick up loads of Minors. You could easily meet at certain locations along route allowing 15 minutes for your cars to coo...
