Morris Minor Owners Club

we have a bugatti too, his names bertie and belongs to my grandson.

Hitlers car for the people, Issigonis will be spinning.

For my part regarding security, I have etched all the windows with the number plate, a kit is around £25.00 this deters cloners. I have fitted a battery car disconnect, £10.00 ish and use a disklock £100.00. The disconnect slows them down, the disklock is a virtually impenetrable Thatcham approved d...

I wonder if you can get a good second hand pair, perhaps from Tom Roy ?

I would like to see someone buy it, underseal it, get it on the road and enjoy it.
Stick a few tens of thousands of miles on it.
Preserved in aspic is not what it was intended for.

Just to reiterate above comments.
Clutch adjustment made all the difference.
It even altered the feel of the pedal box overall.

Its only when you check back you realise that what you thought was a few months ago actually was a couple of years. I had 5 fitted, Nankang tyre, whoever they are, in March 2021, £56.65 each plus £54.00 to fit them. Prices shown include vat. I kept the old tyres as planters, so didn't have to pay to...

Thanks for that. In the end I removed one side of the heater, the bit that blows on your feet and the drivers side glove box,that gave me better access. On replacing the heater on off valve, the mounting bracket on the new one fouls the rocker box cover, which I removed for access to the valve. I gr...

Great service from ESM with a next day delivery of a pair of heater hoses for my 1965 model.
Any hints or tips on fitment warmly welcomed please?
Thank you.

Security. I found myself more concerned with losing the car and preventative methods. To that end I etched all the windows with the car number plate to ward off cloners. £25.00 Purchased a large disklok, £100.00 visible and time consuming for the tea leaf. Fitted a battery disconnect £5.00 And I lea...

Morning Laura, I am also based in N.E. England, I would suggest you could give Chris or Yvonne at Tom Roy a ring. They could help advertise the car for you. They are based near Great Ayton and are the areas specialist garage for Minors. You will get them here, http://www.tomroy.co.uk/content/home-pa...

For anyone in the north east of England, Ormesby hall are having a classic car show on the 2nd of July this year.
I have entered Doris, it would be good to see some other Minors there, its a national trust property with lovely gardens in a central location with all amenities.

I I wonder if this little dicky is retained with an electronic ignition, as I have kept my points I wouldn't know.
But what I have experienced is the cable making and breaking, so I replaced it and my intermittent cut out went away.

Welcome back, getting a new windscreen seal for mine, the wife cant always be there with a pack of tissues to mop up the rain.

I marvel at the ingenuity of the originals. If ever a question mark should be raised toward "improvements" then redesigning the seat belts over the generations is one. But then I am an old curmudgeonly who firmly believes if it aint broke don't fix it. I did however fit rear seat belts tha...

I have people waving, flashing their lights, saluting, doffing their caps etc. It's not due to terrible driving or the car being on fire. When I park up I often have conversations with former owners relating tales of how they drove their sidevalve MM to Munich or Italy or wherever. I am always very...

We had a multi coloured Beetle up the road and a neighbour told me there was a car just like mine "up there" I gave him a lecture on Hitler's car for the people and then the development of the minor by a refugee from Smyrna. Ironically A refugee that Hitler would probably have had murdered...

It reminds me of an old saab.
But its a "nearly not quite there design" to my eyes.

Well, I think its wonderful that daddy's little girl is so interested in how her brand new car was manufactured.

What does your moggie run at Cold/hot ?

John ;-)

60 psi cold, 45-50 psi hot, but how accurate the gauge is is anyone's guess.
Also it depends on the revs at the time of course.
