This the last time i showed my 4 door Morris Minor. as you see it drew a lot of attention. this was circa 1984-5.

can anyone please tell me where this location is? i thought it was Donnington but at age 75 i have forgotten!

i just joined today but do not have ant Morris Minor now only memories! i restored 5 of various types and sold this to a school teacher in Parkgate Wirral in 1987. he said he will never use it! The reg was WOE70J

Thanks

WOE 70J could still be on the road but abroad like my Traveller (DPK 558 J) that left the UK in 2009
- "Export marker Y", correct me if I'm wrong, means left UK. The DVLA gives exactly the same info for my Traveller

Thank you by 'brucek' & 'faversham999' for that interesting info'.

i remember now Shugborough Hall Staffs,was indeed where i showed my Minor in i think 1984-5. As i said i sold in a year or two later to a School Teacher who saw me with the car in Heswall in Wirral, on a sunny day of course. i never took it out in the rain!

He seemed a well of guy then so he probably retired abroad somewhere!

good to know it wasn't scrapped.

I am uploading a photo of the car taken with my son in 1987.[frame][/frame]

The second of only two photo's i have of my last Morris Minor WOE70J.
A few more people gathered on this one. Our 'affectionate' name for the car was 'WOE-JOE'

I bought it in 1982 with only 24000 miles (genuine) on the clock. The previous owner was a farmer who had bought it new for his lovely wife (his words) who unfortunately died shortly after. He kept the car for many years in a barn (in her memory) and it was still in almost new condition apart from some chicken droppings and a lot of dust etc. However it needed very little work to bring it to a MMOC concourse condition.

We all say it don't we " I wish I had kept it"![frame][/frame]
