I dropped in to work last week and met up with an old pal called Amy. We started flying 757s at the same time so we've known each other for maybe 20 years. She saw my car in the car park and it triggered her to mention that her family were the owners of 'Brittains' Morris Minors. Does anyone have any photos that I could send her? All of the family info got lost years ago and all her relatives are a bit past it with regards to recollections.
Thanks

Re: Irish built Minors
I saw Amy again and she thinks she might be able to find a few BOXES of documents left over from the factory. Looking like it might be good news.

Re: Irish built Minors
