Morris Minor Owners Club

any specialists maybe?

My milometer seems to have seized, it wil go up, up goes down very slowly. And someone has converted it very stupidily to kilometers, so my kilometermeter only goes as far as 90 kph, and lisa does want to go faster. I daren't maybe i'll break it, Can anyone help me fix it? Maybe the first is only up...

I don't think anyone's laughing - I'd say that wasn't to bad for fans of an old car that wasn't built in your country...

It's only jealousy , percentage wise it's probably the same
We have around 590 members in The Netherlands, and 29 users at the moment that's 5%

Me member too although I haven't yet received the welcome package

But we keep working on it, and hopefully we can have more than 29 members (don't laugh Brits)

That's great guys! I have to know for sure though, because i've ordered a new chassisplate as mine is missing, and it would be nice to have the correct number... Do any of you know anyone wtith such a car?

I don't drive faster than 90 km, that's 55 miles(?) The question is because My Elisabeth does 9 km to the liter. Maybe it's the name .... Elisabeth (series)II.... no offence to her majesty though

How many km to the liter should a 1098 engine do? I am metric so if you could...... I am not converted to minormeasures

I am only 20 years young, my elisabeth is 49 years, but she still feels young though... And shouldn't we, the youngsters, appreciate and preserve the heritage, as we are the future preserving the past! And I don't like the words alternative and retro either, I just don't like modern rubbish cars mad...

My Elisabeth was an original Home RHD model, and most likely to be black originally as she has the complementary red interoir, wich is still part original, Sadly I can't check out any detalis on the car, as she 's currentle undergoing her birthdaypresent. All my transportation relies on a 1964 Union...

Sadly I haven't got any of the original documents, only the new papers when Elisabeth was imported in 1999, so all it says is 404700

All right then, so I've got the original late series II dash, with a series 3 steeringwheel (which comes with an indicatorstick) My gearstick is different too, due to the 1098 engine and gearbox

I'll keep em, if only for safety reasons, I live in the city, lots of buses and so on, my car is right hand drive, so that can be difficult, especially when overtaking, so at least the people will see my indictors and see that I'm overtaking by pure guess..........

I can't find the original chassisnumber, as my chassisplate is missing, so only 404700 is what i can see. Are there any other places to check this number? My car was restored some years ago, not by me though, so I can't check the paint

Thank you, but still, that's a whole year minus a few months because she was registered 10-02-1956.

Doe s anyone have any pics of the Dashboards of the MM, series II and 1000? Me car seems to be combined at some point I'm afraid

True, I'm still in doubt though, I don't like at the back, but I do like at the front. Life's tough with these dilemma's

I won't complain then, and it's always good to own books, looks impressive in the living room next to my modelcars (just bought the royal mail collection by Vanguards btw with the Mini van, Anglia Van and the good old Minor van)

do any of you know if it is legal just to use the trafficators, and remove the (later added) indicators. from the rear it just doesn't look right to me, but i would like to get an MOT next year

that'll be lovely, hopefully this is the right chassisnumber, cus all it says under the bonnet is 404700.
