At least it would fit me now

Hi Adam

You'll be able to park as normal with the other minors whether you pre-book or pay on the gate - just folk like me who'll be ostracised for turning up in a Toyota (due to various issues) lol

As with any event it is best to contact the organiser - full details are in Minor Matters, I am quite a distance from my copy so can't help - sorry

Rog

There is limited space so only pre-booked entries are guaranteed space inside the museum - if you just turn up you may have to park outside on the street where again space is limited - but everyone is welcome. It's always a good do - I will be there but only as a visitor as my Trav is not on the roa...

They usually do the prize giving about 1500hrs but museum open till 1700hrs

Rog

The rally starts at 1000 hrs - everybody welcome MMOC members or not, pay on the gate

Rog

I don't visit here too often so have just seen this and would disagree with the replies. In the "Original Morris Minor" book there is a picture of the boot badge with blue enamel around the Morris script as with the bonnet badge. I also managed to obtain a NOS boot badge with the blue colo...

Yes - follow the MMOC signs to the rally checkin - if you find your membership card its £12 to get in

Hi Neil

Entry is £15 per car for non MMOC members

Rog

It's the big house on the A508 - can't miss it

Rog

I saw you coming in as I was going - good selection of cars but only 3 Minors - only 1 stall with Minor bits on but they were in a worse state than I throw away lol

Rog

And for fellow tool fetishists the correct size socket/box spanner is 3/4 Whitworth for Minor 1000 & 7/8 Whitworth for MM/S11

Rog

You could try using a puller on the drum or levering off with large screwdriver or small jemmy.

Wheel nuts need 3/8 Whitworth socket

I knocked myself out cold the first time I removed the steering wheel

Sorry - I'm in a funny mood today

I'm tempted to quote from Frankie Boyle but I better not

Rog

I've always had good service from ESM

Rog

Ah - thanks for the correction Mike - the chassis no should still be able to determine whether MM or S11 though

Rog

Late 52/early 53 was the crossover between MM & S11s - lots of cars have since had engines, grilles & badges changed etc - the only real way to tell is by the chassis no - if the prefix is SMM then it is a Series MM & if the prefix is FA or FB then it is a Series 11.
