Hi Bessie,
I have one but it comes on a car. I have had the car for sale for quite some time now but no luck so far. Canada to UK is a bit too far anyway.

How much are you asking for the tourer and do you have any idea what it would cost to ship it back to the UK?

This man must know more about the cost of shipping.

Hello fellow MM lovers.

Why were we (MMOC) as an organisation not able to purchase and secure the "rare garage find" precious items and components recently advertised in Minor Matters? MMOC must have seen this add way back in late November 2013. I simply cannot believe this has happened. I'm certain MikeP and others will agree with this.
Bah humbug.....spike

First time I knew about them was when I got my copy of the magazine - no-one thought to tell me in advance otherwise I would have been straight down to Kent with wads of cash !!!! If anyone hears who bought them please let me know.

Also if anyone hears of anything similar or just any good MM parts PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

hi,
Has anyone got any parts for the alta head ?

Post by **RobThomas** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:36 pm

I have top water elbow castings for the early non-thermostat head. I'm looking for a later thermostat head to copy.

IIRC, it was Niven Ladd who sold all of those parts. He had one of his restored MMs in one of the Minor magazines many years ago.[frame]

Hello,

I am thinking that my beautiful MM Tourer deserves to be brought back to her original maroon and, as she will be stripped bare for the process next winter, it would be nice to fit a overhead valve head conversion, Alta or any other, to improve on her meager power (any alternative suggestion would be welcome)

. Does anyone know of any kit of this type that might be for sale?

If I manage to find the right parts I'd love to fit original front seats too, and a better hood, but finding these will be easier, I'm sure. A set of wheels in a better condition would be a definite bonus as well. I hope that someone might be able to help me, as keeping up with modern traffic with the MM is not very easy in Italy!

All the best

Stefano
