Spotted in North Yorks.Not sure if it falls in to the category of requiring a round tuit or if its a daily runner? apologies to the owner if the latter, but with the canopy on it was hard to say.[frame]Image[/frame]

Spotted today on Boucher Road, Belfast. 1968 ni registered van, parked there permanently to advertise a business. Although it needs and new bonnet and d/s wing due to severe dents the van is in pretty good condition / sound. To good to be sitting there.[frame]Image[/frame]

I saw a white saloon this morning near Hemel Hempstead this morning when I was in my Morris van and saw a black saloon near Sainburys in Apsley this afternoon.

Yesterday as I was leaving Farmfoods Supermarket in Ipswich a Minor 1000 came in sounding very good and parked in the carpark. Unusually I had my camera with me as I had just been photographing "Tornado" hauling a long train to York. I hadn't seen this Minor in Ipswich before.

There were several Morris Minors and other cars at the Hyde Heath village fete today.Most of the Morris Minors and other cars were in good condition but one Morris Minor looked as if it had been painted with a stick and looked full of filler.

Almond Green Minor parked along road near Walton-on-Thames yesterday. Couldn't see number plate as I was driving past and the Moggie was parked between other cars but looked very good.

Minor 1000 driving along Colchester Road near Henley Road traffic lights about 7.15pm last night. Too far away for me to see number.

Not only just seen but just been overtaken by a blue Saloon NNF 917F driving down the Christchurch Bypass at 7am (I was driving a non minor) . The only down side was it had no brake lights :( .

Beautiful Rose Taupe Traveler with a sun visor driving around Staincliffe, Batley. Gave a cheeky wave. Anyone on here? Never seen a Minor so close to home. (Literally at the top of my road :D)
