Doesn't IGN stand for Idles Great Now?
Of course when the light is full on, it's too slow
When it's too slow and lose oil pressure then It's Getting Noisy

I find the differences in awareness of the Series III across the pond is interesting. 1959 was the biggest production of US spec Minors. So much so that many weren't sold until 61 or 62. A true 61 or 62 model is very rare here, so I might miss some of the late Series III changes. First, convertibles...

A Morris past through my hands once that was a convertible front and the traveller rear. No big mystery, someone had bolted on a traveller body to the convertible floor pan. The unanswered issue is that the title (legal document of the car) that came with it had a convertible serial number and the b...

I can see the rationale of not using stainless door frames on the 2 door. They're a bit out of balance since the rear window just has the rubber seal. Did convertibles come both ways? I pity the guys who had to assemble the door frames on the production line. Getting them in without scratching the p...

Don't forget the leather seating surfaces, stainless door frames, and most importantly the passenger sun visor. You meant wheel rings not hup caps, right?. Or could you choose stainless steel versus chrome plated. How about the number light cover? Travellers are typically chrome but I have a saloon ...

Hey, I was pretty close for a Yank. I was tempted to call it BSF but I thought they were only for the smaller threads. Don't forget to flip the 3/16 Whitworth spanner over and it will be 1/4 BA (is BA the right term), some of mine are marked that way. What's with the 55° profile? Do both Whitworth a...

I've towed many a Minor with all four wheels on the ground with no problem. (except when the wheel fell off). Follows along quite nicely. Even towed a few with my 1275 van, including a Riley 1.5 and a Marina. Of course on some turns there was arguements of who was steering who. If the tow vehicle is...

Unless they were changed later, the bolts in the chassis are 1/4 Whitworth, 1/4-26 as I recall. The bolts into the gearbox are 1/4 UNF, 1/4-28. The heads are roughly the same size, however, a 3/16 Whitworth spanner is slightly bigger. The general rule I found at least through Series III production i...

In my cars' first life we went through exhaust systems fairly quickly like every year or too. That was with indifferent winter use (salt use in Pennsylvania) and long and short trips. When I restored them the stainless systems weren't available yet, so in went a stock steel system. Thirty years late...

If I recall correctly, the front wheel drive cars had a very similar turn signal assembly but also incorporated the dipper switch. Could it flash the lights without them being on? Has anyone installed one of these? Of course some new wires would need to be used. The MG1100 were available here and th...

It happen to me in my early days, luckily I was just driving it around on my parents property when the left rear wheel went up into the wing. I even found three of the lugnuts. Not as embrassing as backing up, feeling a breeze, then realizing I didn't latch the door, just as I turn to close it, I se...

I'll report in. Early Series III 2 doors had fixed backs on both seats, though I've only seen one. Some time later (1958?) but while still with the narrow pleat the passenger seat folded. I've seen a Series V prior to the interior update that had a folding passenger set with the narrow, non heat for...
