Morris Minor Owners Club

Originally a registration number allocated to the Bury (B) area and issued May 1958 - March 1959 but sadly No trace with DVLA.

From memory there were also 'S' stencils which it is suggested stood for 'Synobel' / 'Synthetic' paint and I spotted this one at Capel Manor (NLMMMOC) a few weeks ago, which I am told designated 'E' for Export. (Series III Clarendon Grey, 2 door Saloon).

I highly recommend Woolies in Peterborough. https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk and https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-118-vinyl-renovation. They will colour match non-faded samples.

Over the rounder inner arch the material some form of vynide is glued with a shaped vinyl cover panel as an edging. The latter has, from memory, 4 cross head screws in cups through the card / hard board covered vinyl and an aluminium former, designed to prevent friction wear.

I tried for years to tell DVLC as it then was of a new Goldseal engine fitted in 1979. Having been ignored I eventually removed the Goldseal number and had a new engine number strip made with the original engine number on it. The scrivets were drilled out and the new ones tapped into place. Now my c...

The others are on a hex stem with a ball-clip which when depressed relates the knob from the stem. Not a grub screw as far as I recall.

They are available, but only it seems with the switch mechanism - but not a great match. https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/2091264322?iid=283899738511 This starter cable is on e bay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353885504906?hash=item526538458a:g:y-oAAOSw-yph-FDs Auto jumble is probably the best place. I am not...

Numbers should be duplicated on the NMP plate which is on the NS engine bay tie plate near the front.

I think that the track was all hand built, certainly my fathers P4 / Scale4 stuff was, I had to push rivet in the sleepers by hand.... I think the scale was 18.84mm to the foot, I still have his scratch built locos, carriages and goods stock. The P4 society may still exist and from memory the societ...

Liammonty monty we are at cross purposes. October 1957 the light in the indicator body NOT the end of the stalk and 3 light speedo - 1959 new self-cancelling indicator stalk with light on end / 3 light speedo and horn relocated to the steering wheel centre.

The right trafficator switch for a 1957 (October 1956 - October 1957) Minor was steering column mounted and horn push combined, but without a warning light on the assembly. The orange warning light was the top left of the speedometer. . After October 1957 and up to March 1959 the switch had a green ...

I hope this helps. A postcard of Fore Street, Okehampton, in 1976. Plume of Feathers,pub on the right.
Morris Minor Van on the right, now identified in another copy as one of the old SWEB vans parked outside the SWEB showroom and shop.

A rather sad post. I have just received the message below from Ray Mitchell’s daughter. 'Dear Jonathan I am sorry to send you bad news but my Dad died yesterday at Addenbrookes. I would be very grateful if you could let the relevant members of your group know please. Thank you. Kindest regards Hilar...

They don’t sell lemonade in Boots any more. Apparently there were complaints that it leaked out of the lace-holes!

Only half white by the looks of it: has the car still got the NMP plate on the n’a engine bay tie plate?

Off to Charles Ware’s in Bristol today to look at the ongoing work on RER919. Some interesting cars including their fist foray into electric propulsion with a variomatic type motor and modified prop straight to the diff. Andy and Wayne have loaned us a set of Series MM / Series 2 windscreen trim to ...

Mine did this and the fan was hitting a loose wire . After a good clean all was well.

We have been thinking about just such a problem. Apparently it was not so much the difficulty of producing the trim that was the problem and indeed one of the biggies apparently did so, but when it came to polishing, they buckled all over the place. Looking at producing a wooden former on which such...
