Morris Minor Owners Club

last time i drove by (beginning of the month) there was a dove grey (i think ) two door parked out the front of the yard. i just pulled in to look, didnt pore over it, but the sills and inner wings, along with the spring hangers were in a pretty sorry state. might be worth a look if you are nearby, ...

thats pretty cool! thi i must admit ive taken a back seat in the last few years, with university and work taking over my life a bit too much. i'm actualy just starting to plan my queens scout expedition- just over a year left to do it, as it needs to be completed by the time im 25 and im 24 this sun...

i shall see if i can make the one on the 19th in my Marina

i wonder if these are at the famous blackborough house- which means everything will be for sale, just not at the price you want to buy it. its in cullompton. apparently the owner, a mr ralph sanders, is accommodating if you catch him on the right day. have a quick google and you will see what a tre...

if anyone does go down to have a look/ potentially purchase, then please do check if thats an early steering wheel- i would rather like one, but refuse to pay some of the prices that i have seen them go up to on ebay- typical minor owner- not tight, just careful- honest! to be honest, i think if the...

series 2 steering wheel in the front of the traveller? if so might be interested in it...

i dont see why they shouldnt be- if you do go let me know- i shall let you have a shopping list

thanks for the replies guys i think it unlikely it is american considering the fragility of it. i looked into mackie dj equipment, and they started in 1984, but i cant see the style of the sign really fitting with their business style.? as for the age, it may be 80s or 90s, but it just doesnt have t...

hi guys, bought this today in a junk shop. it is painted/printed in reverse on glass. the guy in the shop didnt know what it was/where it came from, but reckoned it is from the 1920s or 30s, but i suspect it could be from anywhen up to the late fifties. i intend to make a light box to illuminate it ...

well i was thinking it wouldnt be all the world for me to make a trip during my christmas break from uni, but i have the problem of transport as my s2 minor is off the road being restored (why i want the parts). might have to do some ringing about yards beforehand and then tap up the parents for the...

damn, so far away. i would love alot of parts from these, anyone fancy making a mission on my behalf?

any ideas on what yard?

emailed them this morning- apparently they still have it in the yard and it is available for viewing. anyone local who could take some pictures as i am a little far away, but would be interested in some parts......

what are the best 165 tyres to use? i know that on standard rims you use a profile of 80, but i can't find 165/80r14 tyres- i am considering getting a set of the esm wheels as a present to myself (and the car), but want to be sure of what tyres i can actually get.

today was an unusually good day for morris minors in the Southsea area. saw a late 4 door saloon in OEW near the Kings theatre in Albert road, quite tidy and a nice everyday car. had union jack badges screwed onto the wings for some reason? then i saw a OEW g reg traveller. good wood, wheels painted...

I can't say i did i'm afraid as it was saturday evening and the local Civic and Corsa boys were having a sound off just across the way so i didn't hang around! Not my kind of music! LOL! :roll: :lol: :lol: unfortunately i probably know half of them. back on topic, was anyway broken down on the way ...

where the jag garage is on the roundabout,take the turn off toward woolsbridge and its just before the speed camera. must be the second or third house down- go check it out and back me up :lol: . its sometimes just got its nose out on the road, or mostly its parked down the drive, park in the indust...

kfo 672 belongs to some local boys carlo, i went to school with one of them. i think it gets shared amongst siblings, as he's now at university, so his older brother is keeping it alive (just). don't know if you noticed the nail in place of the pin on the boot hinge lol

cheers chaps, i knew i was right (ish) i said to my mate when we saw it in the dark, that if it was under £1500 i would consider it. the chap had evidently had all the work done on the underside, and was looking to sell it on for a handsome profit, as he had owned it for "not very long". w...

happened across a j reg traveller yesterday with a for sale sign on the windscreen, and thought to myself "best i have a look at her". after some investigation, this was the verdict: front wings both going next to door pillars doors shut poorly wood with small amounts of filler in it every...
