Morris Minor Owners Club

Winter before last I stored the car in similar conditions to those described above by Nickol. I used cotton dust sheets with a 'breatheable' car cover over them. After two months I found evidence of micro blistering. I left the car uncovered for the rest of the winter. Last winter the car stood outs...

Seen today. V5 document and Chassis plate for 1954 saloon (engine quoted as 918cc). The seller who may well be a club member recently bought a 1964 or newer 4-door saloon with no ID or paperwork, but was given the 1954 ID to go with it. Through Facebook he was told he'd been stitched up so he cut hi...

You are correct about the switches in your first two pictures. The second two must be later additions. Has the car got any of the following added? - Hazard warning/4-way flasher system - Rear windscreen de-mister/de-fogger - Front or rear fog lamps - Manually-switched reversing/back-up lamp If any a...

Did 'standard' Travellers have a rubber floor covering in the front footwells instead of carpet? Quite possibly that was earlier. Just thought I'd throw it into the mix

The seller was canvassing opinions regarding its potential value on a Facebook group last week.

What is the difference between standard and de luxe trim? I had assumed all 62-64 Minors were duotone.

As stated above. Duo-tone seats and door cards if 'Deluxe' trim. Single-tone if 'Standard' trim.

The interior may be duo-tone (light blue with silver-beige) or single tone (light blue).

Difficult to tell without a link to the eBay beading. Personally, provided it's a colour which they stock, I'd use correct-colour beading from ESM or Charles Ware etc.

Someone, somewhere on the Forum recently mentioned that it would be good to have additional Emojis/Smileys (call them what you will) to add to forum posts, in addition to the 14 currently available. This morning, by accident, I've found that Forum messages now recognise the Emojis that come with my ...

Yes - thanks indeed Mike. Gives those of us who couldn't attend a taste of the weekend

Yesterday afternoon, that Vincent/sidecar combo was apparently a Ferrari 246 Dino

I've had two smokey 1275 Marinas. Both a long time ago. One was a '72 with 80,000 on the clock. That one was a rings problem. Ran great most of the time but occasionally died on me and then would turn over very fast on the starter as if there was no compression. Leave it fifteen minutes and all fine...

MMOC Malvern Hills branch will be meeting at Rowberry's Garden Centre, Chaddesley Corbett. Mid-day. Saturday 16 February 2019 if of interest.

Already out of my price range. Tickets, booking fee, parking, lunch and coffee = 2 weeks supermarket shopping for me and Mrs PB

Welcome back to the world of Minors! I'm not TOO far away. Kidderminster/Stourbridge.

...and they're back again. Identical to the last raft of listings except seller name which is now 'delrob101'

Since I posted about an hour ago, that user's active listings has shrunk from 640 to 11 but I suspect he/she is using a bulk listing tool so they'll probably all be back by midnight

Having just looked at eBay, I count 3 Minors listed by 'maxwellboating', including 2 very nice vans. All start at £3000 bidding. No reserve with a Buy It Now price of £5250 each. None of the listings have any vehicle details. Each just say 'Contact Cara direct at (email address). She will tell you w...

Took my first test in my own Mk.1 Mini with sliding door windows which wouldn't lock. Very wet day. Windows slid open during the emergency stop, and the examiners clipboard got soaked. Needless to say, I failed!
