Morris Minor Owners Club

I'll see what I can do in the 2 weeks I have before the national!

Hi again. Well no progress has been made for quite a while now, I'm still in Nottingham and half way through the summer exams so havent had a chance to be home, eventually work will commence again. So why am I updating this thread now? Well, Sidney rolled off the production line on 30th May 1961, 50...

Im going too! I'll be taking the blue one VV

Without breaching copyright, could you please let us know the "gist" of the letter, :) Hi Ash, there is now a section in each issue of minor matters that features on a certain young member, this issue it was Matt's turn to tell us about himself and his car and why he chose to drive a mino...

I did actually consider taking the hat off for the photos but then decided that would probably cause quite a stir

I've just read the article and its great, well done We're now up to 84 members!

Agreed it takes along time but it'll be worth it, I went straight from A-levels to uni didnt need to do foundation but im in year 2 of a 4-year masters.

Chassis number for a 2-door saloon would be MA2S as MAS was for 4-doors and as far as I know only one of them has been made into a convertible!

I think andy (sidney'61) might be rather too good at that competition.. 'Fraid so, though if you look at my car you'll find almost nothing original :roll: Actually Stevey will probably be better than me, we've been quizzing each other on who knows the most useless facts about minors. Aren't we sad :D

Hiya!
There are a lot of us young minor owners around here so please do join the facebook group above and get to know us all!

Well I though I might aswell try and see if it worked! It's not blowing the fuses now and it seems to me to be just a dodgy connecton to the fusebox.

After shorting out the fuse box and pressing the horn it worked fine, then connecting it together again, fine, shut the bonnet and it stopped working! It's working again now but we'll see how long for.

I've tested the horn direct to the battery and it seems to be working fine so there must be a problem in the circuit somewhere. After a bit of adjustment the handbrake seems to be working fine.

This is on Emily, I'll have another look today. I had a problem with it a few months ago, David McCullough got it working again so I'll have to see if it's the same problem!

I've only just noticed this topic.. oops! Hats really are a must when diriving, I've never been seen driving without one. I don't suppose it matters what kind you wear as we all like to be different and original, I normally go for the scarecrow/fisherman hat seen above though recently I've been more...

Since changing my car steering wheel (back to the standard three-spoke) I can't get the horn to work, everytime I try it blows the fuse, how do I resolve this?

Thanks

ah seems i was wrong then..... would i atleast be right in sayign that ssk was reserved for age related plates, therefore all ssk's are an age plate rather than original registration? All SK's will be age related plates (apart from ASK) as are all SJ and SL, also ones starting in UX are quite commo...

I've just spotted this on ebay, it's a badge for that very rare model that was the minor 100! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Morris-Minor-100- ... 3a6263a659

I have a couple of them in my garage too!

Hi and welcome! Yukon grey '61 2-doors are the best (though maybe I'm slightly biased!) mine was built on 30th May so ours will not be far apart at all. Please post some photos of your car as we all like photos

Good luck with getting it MoT'd.

I spotted this advert for parking in Broadmarsh shopping centre Nottingham, It's full wall height and rather cool [frame][/frame]
