Morris Minor Owners Club

hooray! how are we looking at actual making it a "real" register like the others?

it was excellent- i would go again just to see a mk1 jaguar four wheel drift. the wall of death was pretty good too.

only wish that there were more people in period dress, and less bloody camera phones GRRRRRRRRRR.

Have you seen this Matt? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/classiccars/8004207/Classic-alternatives-to-a-Morris-Minor.html written by someone who doesn't know about minors is it? i'm pretty sure that pic is an MM tourer isn't it? 1. its from 1952- series 2 came in '53 2. it has the flat bonnet fl...

ahhhhhhhhh! my eyes!
that is vauxhall van with moggie front sheet metal- the amount of work it took why not restore a real one?

didn't know the boys brigade was still about to be honest! good to see some scouters on here. today our explorer unit helped park cars at the local show. plenty of minors there including mine for the first time.

There's SGA Motors in Ringwood who advertise in Minor Matters - I don't know anything about them but is worth an enquiry. Rog erm, i don't know if he has room, and it may take a while. the workshop is stacked out (and probably looks like bmceccosse's shed). i went up there for bits and the work he ...

would the same be applicable if my car has an age related plate?

i know it sounds dreadful, but the back bar of the boot floor does bend after a while. my method of getting the spare in (with 155 tyres on i hasten to add) was to get a crow or jemmy bar, and gently pry the the rear of the boot floor up. it may damage the paint slightly, so if you intend on enterin...

i was just wondering if there were any scouts, leaders, even ex scouts on the forum. i belong to Verwood ESU. in the east dorset district. i am also soon to be an assistant cub leader in 2nd verwood group.

(and if anyone comes out with dyb dyb dyb, dob dob dob i might just go a bit mad)

series MM s had aluminium kick plates, but to save money, and i think something to do with the korean war, BMC (or nuffield) changed them to pressed steel, painted silver. i am not aware that they were ever painted body colour from factory, but i await correction

you were proven correct- it broke down five times yesterday and ended up being towed home. think that the dynamo was not charging as well as it could of.

what about this one pat?

just spotted a saloon at Ferndown crossroads. in grey, registration KFO *** didn't catch if it was two or four door.

thank you muchly, i think this will be a project to add to the list.

great choice, make an excellent rock n roll car. dunno what you are like at driving in a drape jacket, crepe soles and drainpipes pat? this is the uniform when driving a PA. what about a velox? or even an f type victor?

can i get this to work with the column stalk and the silver barrel lucas relay?

series 2 wheels should be body colour, as should the grille.

as for the leak i would check three things. 1. the gaskets around the bottom of the wiper mounts 2.the gaskets around the bonnet hinges 3. the seal around the back edge of the bonnet also worth a check maybe the seal around the gearbox tunnel and dip switch? door seals probably wouldn't go amiss eit...

i think they all were, this would be pretty typical BMC.
