Morris Minor Owners Club

Just to add to this - the online process to change ownership will work provided that its the last V5 issued. 2 years or so ago I did an online change of ownership, from one of the early cream coloured V5s. Off the top of my head that particular doc was issued in 1983. Given the covid situation, I wo...

Yup, its a traveller without the wood...

I would need 15ishL for a single coat

I would suggest a towbar mounted bike track too!

How well does the cat travel in a traveller?

If the ignition is on, the fuel pump ticks rapidly to get fuel to the carb and then it should stop. If it keeps ticking, albeit at a reduced rate the valve is probably partially sticking open. If you take the air filter off, and hold the throttle open you might even be able to see the fuel coming in...

Whats the difference between a Hippo and a Zippo?

Ones really heavy, the other is a little lighter.

I restored a sprite a few years ago and entrusted the loom install to a friend, who I was confident knew what he was doing, because I didn't have the time.
