There is a very good looking traveller that I have followed a few times from Newport to Caerleon, guessing he is a Ponthir woody.

There was several Morris Minors at a classic car show in Ley Hill I went to this afternoon.I usually use my MG Midget but I used that yesterday so I went in the Minor van and it was the only Minor van there.

Speaking from experience, it looks as if that was a 'quick lets get the hood up its gonna rain' type morris. Very nice looking by the way!

Seen in a mechanics garage car park this morning when I picked my saloon doors up. Lime green, yes, Lime Green woody, no reg on it. (Only saw it from the back)
I asked the mech', Dale, who's it was. It was having the gearbox stripped and refitted after being in storage for 7 years. Owned by an old lady that had passed away. It had been sold by the family and the new owner was having it 'looked at'.

Maybe we'll see it on here soon with a new member? :D

That Moggy is being towed on an A frame - you can see the bargeboard number plate for the camper tied to the rear bumper.
