Morris Minor Owners Club

Bad luck. Very easy to miss oiling up the bonnet catch and safety hook. P6 Rovers were another car prone to this.

All the more reason not to use them. In 25 years of driving I have never joined one of these outfits. What do you do when you brake down then? And its not a roadside fixable problem? Or you dont have the spare? I dont break down! :D Seriously, I never have been left stranded yet.. Give it time thou...

Excellent. Fair play to you!

BGTs are one of the very best classics for daily use. Get a good solid one and blast it with waxoyl and it will do anyone proud. A rotten one like mine will cost a few quid to sort out though.....

Very nice!!! Well done.

R.I.P.

This really is so sad to read. What a tragic accident.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Subscription on that link is only £19, reduced from the normal £29.70. Which is a bit more palletable!

4 pound 95 is a lot for a magazine, especially if it is as thin as Minor Monthly was.

Welcome! That really looks like an honest, well maintained little Moggie, one which should be straightforward to freshen up. Its lovely to see one that has been in the same family for a long time.

Good luck with it, nice to see a 4-door being done.

Come on now! Hasn't this gone on for far too long?

Enough is enough.

My thoughts exactly chickenjohn. Every other B i've had has been bodged up with plates stuck on everywhere underneath etc. This one seems to have escaped that treatment so there are no poor repairs to cut out first.

Those sill covers went to the tat man....

Thank you wilfred! The fact that the B is so original and not bodged up (apart from those sill covers..) is why I decided to keep it and get stuck in to the work. I will check the area around the spring mountings, no doubt it will be a bit crunchy!

Ive seen far worse Bs repaired and at least the panels are cheap enough! A small matter of a Mini to sort out first though..

Just like the rest of the sills, totally rotten and could be pulled away by hand..

Its hard to believe this had an mot until fairly recently.

As they should be. Minors, like any car, are much more reliable with everyday use.

Or pink elephants might deliver the post...

I will be surprised if the free tax for pre 1973 vehicles continues for much longer.

I for one give you the utmost respect.


Very well done mate. While you have done yours, mine has been under a sheet in the garden....


Its still there..

Excellent! Well done! Considering what you started with you have done superb!

Enjoy!

Very nice!

One of the best improvements I made to mine was to fit inertia reel seat belts, simple and far easier to use.
