Re: Morris Minor and The Majors Convertible
I'd remembered being parked next but one to a bright red lowlight tourer (there can't be too many!) at a Manchester Branch indoor rally a few years back. Just done a search and found a photo, zoomed in to read the registration and would you beleive it its a different one! Just how many red lowlights are there? [frame][/frame]
cheers
