Morris Minor Owners Club

On the subject of mirrors, I find the wing mirror not too bad but the current ones on the car are not as good as the originals which were on when I bought it in 1978. Instead of the quadrant type arms they are almost 'S' shaped and take the lenses further out. I have looked at auto jumbles and on li...

Possibly unwise to paint the piping as the paint can crack. Attaching the wing loosely will allow paint to get into the joint area ready for piping after painting.

Just a thought, The car looks Clarendon Grey. Do not be tempted to chuck out the rear wing piping, no matter how squashed or compressed it might be. It is no longer available and although only a total nerd (me) would notice, the other greys or even black, simply do not look as good. If anyone knows ...

Try also the MMO FB site (Not the same as MMOC) and Morris Minor Owners Community FB site. Many on these are not MMOC members it would appear, although there will be some crossover.

Originals had no trim around the outside and the modern ones lack the toe pad protector on the gearbox tunnel. I have a couple of these (original) if anyone wants one.

The Hardi is, in my experience, much noisier than the SU and has a tendency to overheat and fail. Nor is it particularly cheap.

Oh good, it was not, the last time I looked.

From memory, 17th of March, but odd that it is not on the events list.....

Sorry, they have been sold.

And more.

'An Uttlesford Branch member has contacted me to say that she has found four Morris Minor Tyres in her loft. She has. no idea when Ken, her late husband put them up there. The age is not known but they have been stored in a dark environmnt and by the looks of them there is no cracking on the walls a...

But.... and I know they are easily removable .... the hubcaps appear to have the centra; 'M' stamped in which was a Series II feature.

N - VE is a Cambridgeshire issued plate and issued March to November 1955. Although possible, it is unlikely that this is an age-related plate and more likely an original as the former tend to be from counties / areas which had not used their allocation ie some Scottish areas. A beautiful looking ca...

Thanks. Mine was fitted by BL in Coventry to a 948 cc gold seal in 1979 so likely a later Valve.

Where did you get the PCV diaphragm please. Mine in my 1957 car may well need changing after 40 odd years.

Guildbass asks an interesting question. Do the chrome surround lids fit the later - and indeed earlier - apertures? I have always been told that the dashboard did not change in terms of basic pressing from October 1956 (Likely October 1954, later Series II) to the end of production. Changes were sim...

I saw several sets with the side entry distributor caps at the recent Newark auto jumble. That along with eBay seems the best bet.

Original transmission tunnel carpet protector. Triangular rubber carpet protector which goes on the side of the transmission tunnel to prevent wear to the carpet. Few, if any of the modern replica carpet sets have this, or indeed the correct heel mat (which these match.)They are in very good conditi...
