Morris Minor Owners Club

I started my thread "Our other hobbies and passions" at almost the same time as this one and when i compared the statistics of both threads i am shocked to find i have been thrashed by a ginger bush.

Yes tha would be nice to get the traveller out to a local show, It should be at Himley show unless the weather is bad.

I will add it to my list of things to do....which is about a mile long now

Never been to this and it is quite local, I will keep my eye open for future events.

Such a good thing to bring back the past in this way, All the best with bringing it back to life i used to love going to shows and seeing these cars from "boy" racers back in the day.

I have the Nextbase 412gw it works well but i never really look at it unless we get a mad driver or a near miss, Then i back it up to my pc to make my own tv show :lol: I have CCTV on the house but never use it unless something has happened, It used to be funny when we had it set up to alert to our ...

Well i think mystery solved, The covering is indeed leather cloth or faux leather, Most it seems ok and i think it is worth spending a bit of time making it useable, Maybe it will fit in the back of my traveller, Thanks all.

@Palacebear, I love the red pottery piece and that kind of colour, I have a bright yellow one almost the same with the "fat lava" effect, Great to know those bits have been given a new life i saved them from my sister when she was on a clear up.

I have this suitcase looking item that has angled sides, It looks like it was made to go into a specefic space, maybe a car boot? It has small feet on the back to stand it up on so i think it is made to be carried no just a box in the boot. https://puu.sh/xhO78/865e20858b.jpg https://puu.sh/xhO6O/c6...

@Palacebear, Those are great clocks i have a green and black one like your all white one, Yes the clock i have takes a C cell and it says Lorus on the front not Seiko as i thoughy, Maybe i have another one made by Seiko? Here it is parked nicely between some of my smaller 60's west german pottery. h...

@Palacebear, I love those clocks with the teak looking wooden parts on metal rods surrounding the clock face, I still keep my dads old clock on display as he used it for years to get up for work, But lst year my sister gave me a battery clock from the early 70s which is grey and black i think made b...

That is shocking, i know i picked up quite a few cup and saucers with odd coloured cups aswell i think red yellow and green cups, I need to get in the loft and turn my front room into a shop

I knew it was a set aimed at budget end, I have been picking up pieces for years, A few people have said it had gone up in valve, I have a feeling i have a tea pot,coffee pot and cups and saucers and a few red plates, Hilarious to think friends used to think i was odd for collecting it lol

@Palacebear, I love that picnic set i have a 2 person set in the loft with Ridgway homemaker pattern which i just loved when i was young, I will have to go through some boxes and take pictures of the odd things i have kept, See kitchy Ridgway home maker pattern in pic. https://img1.etsystatic.com/21...

@Shropshiremoggie, I have not been to the Rudge place in a while but yes i know what you mean, Some trendy painting can kill the original features of antiques, @SteveClem, No joke the lada was robust, My mate drove his into a hedge off roading and it just had a few scratches, He went on to niva 4x4 ...

I have never seen the antique place at bobbington but there is also one on the Bridgnorth road at rudge.

Thanks all, They are the original seats which look leather and the stitching is failing, The frame is the folding type and i love the design so want to keep that, The only spare seats i have are blue vinyl from a later car but i can put some seat covers on till i get the old ones sorted.

I was in the passenger seat a few days ago and the seat leaned back and stayed there, I think the frame is bent up but not broken, The padding and webbing looks and feels like it needs a refurb so i am going to tackle both seats, I know it will take quite a bit of time so i am going to put other sea...

I had a hand me down 1972 1300 twin port Beetle, Drove it everywhere i could go, Camped in it many times with a tent against it, So many good memories.

@SteveClem, I have the same thing going on, I think those cars we took for granted years ago bought us happy memories so we keep the cars as they are part of it, I still have a love of beetles and BMC cars nothing will replace them, New cars just do not have the same affect.
