Morris Minor Owners Club

the darker shade is the earlier shade, Ive been trying to match the later shade, as said the blue is hard to match there is a rover blue which is close but still not right.

sorry make that £12. 10s .0d

I think it was around £12. 0s. 0d. price i cant remeber the rest will have a look at some old snaps.

just forgot to adjust them properly! utter shame o n something so stupid, well happens to the best of us another years motoring now, in time for teh big evet of the year. Kilbroney here i come!

well lucky devil! Yeah lottery numbers good, lots of money better. Could do with some luck at present. Minor failed MOT on brake imbalance then retested and passed! An extra £18.50 to restest it, 5minutes and they get £18.50! not a bad return. Do you guys have a brake balance check in England? SHoul...

Are you on about the engine number? 10V just means 1098cc inline. The engine numbers changed format at about 1970.

Yes good luck. As to the engine numbers after 1969 the engine codes changed as you say to 10V.... it just means 1098cc V means inline. Same engine as the rest of the 1098s just simplified the engine numbers.

yeh had planned on that. I was gonna cut out any rust and repaint but for some reason none of the paint suppliers seem to realise that trafalgar blue paint changed shade to lighter in 1968 but still used to same paint code. So I ask for blue apint I get the darker stuff!!

Yep the only different in front seats is the adjustment for the drivers side, other wise there all the same. Back seats are not especially traveller and saloon. 4 doors and two doors rear seats (the bit you sit on anyway) is slighltly different. For cleaning seats and door pannels some vanish scrubb...

Just as your onn the subject of rear wings. is there any way to try and protect as much of the paint as posible when welding here? (where the rear wing boltts on and the piping is) ot that mines rusty or anything. (at least with that amount of underseal on it)

for easy to reach places, try using one of those bottles for cleaning windows or spraying plants. it works as long as you keep it hot., but for box sections (the places that matter) something with a bit of kick is what you want.

yeh thats good. Its also good (at least i've been told) for filling a diff.

yeah, the most common question we get is does it still have those stick out indicators? (trafficators). One day I will be able to say yes, instead of explaining the entire morris history to them. the last time a guy a petrol station kept me there for 45mins!!! I only wanted £5 worth!!

yeh have a go. dispite the bad press, get in there and besides what else is more fun than working on a minor, at least when you know whats wrong and how to fix it.

mmm... a trial between all engine types? you would have to ensure that all engines either had similar mileages or that all had been recently rebuilt. Now that would be quite interesting. Bets on the Alta for get up and go, foot down maybe finally get there fun!! Can you imagine the sound of all thos...

Well I have 4 wings bought last year at the national. (should have seen us with 6 wings (4 of mine and 2 for a friend) 2 bumpers, camping gear and all with 4 of us in a renault Megan!! Any way I bought 3 pattern wings and 1 good second hand genuine wing and stupidly got them all lovely and painted b...

Hi all Im back, and I didnt mean it. I really like MM's just envious of you all. Here's something for originality, when MM side valves stopped production and changed to the 803 OHV some of these early cars still had MM back axles to use up stocks. I wonder how they handled?

''It's about time you concentrated on a proper Morris Minor, not the ugly highlight ones. '' What? Although I own a 1000, the highlight mm's are not ugly! And are anything but lowlights proper minors?!!!
If thats the case im in the wrong club. OK lowlights are nice, but the highlights are as well.

Hi there, well not to worry. That click is from the petrol pump, it clicks as it pumps, its when it stops clicking that you get problems. If it happens hit it with something. It does work. As for the lights on your speedo, the red one is the ignitio woarning light, this is on when the battery isnt c...

They just seem to disintigrate over time. Well thats ok. I'll worry about that if I ever go concourse. (with my car, unlikely)
