Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi There, does anyone know of any meets in the North Dorset area? I live in Gillingham and would love to meet up with some like minded individuals, and of course drink some cider! I dont mind travelling a distance, Horrace the Morris seems pretty reliable, having only not started once (loose connect...

I would love to join you but my car just wont be ready in time. Do you know if you plan to run this trip next yet? If so - put me down for that! Sorry, i wish i could support it this year but but i havent even had time to give Horrace a much needed oil change at the moment!

She sounds great! I have a fully restored MK1 Escort 1300 GT on the left, a car nut on right, a Traveller owner next to him, and a classic commercial nut opposite! Its great when we're all out working on our cars!

I figure as long as its anoter Morris still in regular use, providing entertainment then it can't be a bad thing! At least its not rotting away in a field.

Hi,

I am trying to source a set of 5 1/2 J steel wheels for my Minor. I am however pretty new to the Morris scene, and am not sure if i should be looking for 5.5J, 5 1/2 J etc. Any pointers?

Thanks in advance,

Sam.

Thanks for the support! I've got to build my new enginer first, and uprate to discs and poly bushes, and new leaf springs etc etc, so it may be a little while yet!

Hi There. I know some of you may frown and glare at me for even suggesting this, but does anyone know of any track days or hill climbs i can compete in with my Minor? I would like a period racer, like stepping back in time, but dont want to do all the work i there isn't anywhere to use it! Unfortuna...

Turned out the rivets on the clutch plate were loose, so the plates had about quarter of on inch of play.

Just thought I'd post this incase anyone else was experiencing the same thing!

Thanks for your help.

ok, sounds good - but pardon my ignorance; where is orkney?!

Whilst driving in the glorious sun the other day, i drove past a young child who was bound to a wheel chair and couldn't help think how lucky i was. This has made me want to do something to try and help out people who are less fortunate than myself. I am thinking of attempting to plan a sponsored dr...

Hi, thanks for that, i shall check those things this afternoon. Its a '68 Morris 1000, I think i got a bit confused! Can you check for worn ujs by grabbing hold of them and giving them a good shake? I have a spare so i could just bolt that on to see if it improves?

Thank you for your advice.

Hi There, I am new to the world of MMs, having recently purchased a 1968 1098cc 4 door Minor in almond green. I love him (horrace) to bits, but he has developed a problem that i am hoping someone might be able to help with. When pulling away, just as you raise the clutch above biting point, the whol...
