Looks big enough to make a reasonable guest annexe! I couldn't even fit a Smart Car in mine

It's my workshop but the cars have taken over..
Re: Morris minor million
Looks absolutely stunning! Congratulations!
I think I saw the shell a few months back when I popped in whilst working in Bristol. Certainly A LOT better than my car #281!

Hi. I recognise your million.. I believe I know the chap you acquired it from..OHP 900 wrote:Looks absolutely stunning! Congratulations!

Have you begun restoring yet?
Re: Morris minor million
1620 MY it was the car found in 2015 up in Whitney Bay. Only got it earlier this year and so far we’ve done nothing but store it and source the odd part. Will be done eventually but there are two others in the queue, a lowlight and a SII van that have been waiting patiently!

I think you mean Whitley Bay. Near my home town (originally a Geordie).

Re: Morris minor million
It looks like it had Jaguar rear lights on ! And who is this Lex Issigonis? It sounds like one of Superman's arch enemies.

Re: Morris minor million
According to Andrew Dyer this is actually not true! The official press launch was on 4 January 1961, but the Millionth car actually came off the production line just before Christmas 1960!
Re: Morris minor million
I believe you are correct.
But nice to see an article like that.
