Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks for the advice everyone We informed the police and a community support officer came out to look at the damage. They said there was little they could do but you never know the culprit might be caught. Still not sure what was poured over the car and I haven't been able to find any container tha...

On Wednesday I came out to find some liquid - (we think brake fluid) had been poured over the Morris Minor, causing damage to the paintwork. The car had a water proof cover over it so fortunately this prevented too much damage being done. The cover is completely ruined - the liquid has caused it to ...

Hi everyone does anyone know whether there is a special tool you have to use when fitting replacement seat straps to the underside of the passenger seat? They don't seem to stretch enough to fit to both edges of the seat so I suppose you either need a particular tool to stretch the straps or just a ...

blueray flat screen tv and beer cooler your moggy should have as a minimum to enjoy over the winter! I like the idea :D I think for now I am going to try and park the Morris on an area of concrete, rather than on the grass, hopefully somewhere not too exposed to the weather, and with summer on the ...

Is there no way of propping it up The building next to it is propping it up slightly, however I think it is too far gone for any repairs :( I may be able to store the car in an old barn but I will have to find out. This building is also not structurally brilliant however it is not falling down - ye...

Here are some more pictures. As you can see it is leaning badly, although saying that it has been leaning since the 1980s!, however in the last few weeks the lean has got worse and the crack in the beam has appeared. The building also leaks but has been useful for storing the Morris over the last tw...

Hi everyone, Last week the garage was declared structurally unsound when we found a large crack in a main supporting beam right over the top of the Morris. As you can see from the photographs the garage is leaning badly and on the brink of collapse. As a result the Morris has been evacuated and is l...

Thankyou,
I was never sure if it was clipped in place or simply glued, so I thought it was worth checking.
It would explain why I have never been able to find a clip for it.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know what the clip that holds the trim in place on the dashboard is called? (see photo) It has been missing since I bought the car, so I have no idea what it looks like. If I can find out what it is called, I can order a new one (hopefully :-? )[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbi...

That's really interesting - I wonder what happened to SJO 62A, does not appear on the DVLA vehicle enquiry but maybe it is out there somewhere?

Saw two Morris Minors on the TV program 'Country House Rescue' (channel 4, 8:00) today, a Traveller and convertible

Thanks everyone , I think I will try the clay bar & carnauba wax method, - does this method take long to do?

I was wondering how often it is safe to polish a classic car such as a Morris Minor, without causing damage to the paintwork. I was originally led to believe that it is best not to polish a classic car too often as this can cause the paintwork to dull over time, however after having the front of my ...

Yes is does - was this also optional?

The chassis number on my car suggests it was a deluxe model, however it has very few extras to the standard model, with the exception of a heater and passenger sun visor, which I thought had become standard fittings by the late sixties? or maybe not?

Happy new year!

It would have been used right through production. its in brake linings, clutch plates, gaskets heat shields etc. My 73 MGB has asbestos heat shielding within the car under tin foil on the transmission tunnel.

Really

Thanks taupe

Did I see you driving through Scaynes Hill last week? Certainly a similar car!

Hi Matt

Yes it could well have been me you saw, however there is an identical green saloon driving around in the area, which has a similar regestration to mine.
