Re: Spotted today.
No Minors out and about in Kidderminster today. Supermarket car-park revealed a pretty rare 1973/4 Triumph 2000 Mk.2 estate car. Dark blue. Black vinyl roof and roll-back sun-roof. Light blue interior. Less than 38,000 miles on the clock.

Re: Spotted today.
Today in Wolverley area. Black pick-up with woody back RNP*F. Gave me a headlight flash. Didn't get time to respond!
About a dozen MGBs heading towards Bridgnorth on the A442 as well... and a solitary MGA heading in the other direction!

Re: Spotted today.
Seats are wonderful, doors rough but rear wings look ok as does the boot. He is honest about the floorpan but depending on the reserve it would be a good project.

Re: Spotted today.
This evening at 8.55 p.m. as I went to lock the church, I saw a nice pale blue convertible (AAM121B, I think) come down Hurstbourne Hill driven by a young man with a beard, and as he passed the "George & Dragon" I stood to attention and saluted and got a wave in return. He must be well north of Newbury by now.

Morris Minor, the car of the future. One day they will all look like this!

Re: Spotted today.
Saw a lovely dark blue J reg traveller at my local shopping centre in Surrey Quays/Canada water yesterday, SE London. Would love to know if there was another fan locally!

Re: Spotted today.
Its lucky to still have its wheels in SE. Saw a nice mustard coloured traveller in a driveway in Trumpington yesterday.

Re: Spotted today.
Dark Coloured SII 4 door in a photo at the beginning of a 'Key Retirement' advert on telly. Allegedly in Lancashire. VRM not visible.
Re: Spotted today.
The Limeflower traveller in Trumpington is currently for sale. I thought it would've sold by now as they put it up for sale a month or two ago.

Re: Spotted today.
Didn't see a for sale sign on it, is it on line anywhere ?
Re: Spotted today.
Not that I know of. The last few times I've driven by it's had a for sale sign with a contact number
Re: Spotted today.
Spotted today in Bath - J reg and had all the appearance of a daily user. Lower Bristol Road appears to be a rich source of interesting cars in daily use, this isn't the first Moggy i've seen, and earlier this week a G reg Volvo, last week a F reg Spitfire, none concourse. Good to see so many in regular use.

Re: Spotted today.
Probably on a pilgrimage to where CW used to be ! I see the traffic hasn't improved there despite the lack of minors parked on the road and on the kerb.
.
Saw a well used black, 948 LCV van (modern front lights tho') in Goodge Street WC1 today- RVS 947. It has been in the area for many years.

Re: Spotted today.
Once again today, Kidderminster was disappointingly Minor-free. Instead, on the ring-road, a pair of V12 Jaguar E-types. Both 2+2. One red. One maroon.
Then, in the town centre, a Minor relation in the shape of a very nice shiny Maroon Wolseley 1500 Mk.II. Re-registered OSL***
Finally, in the lay-by where Nicky's snack-bar can be found on the Bridgnorth Road, a Volvo Duett station wagon as pictured below.

Lovely Minor Panda Car in 'Endeavour' tonight. It drove away and sounded very sweet. No index visible.

Re: Spotted today.
VERY unusual sighting.
Saudi Arabia. Jeddah to Yanbu road, heading south.
White four-door 1000 on a trailer.
Opposite carriageway, so no time for a close look or picture. Saudi plate.
Only the second mog I've seen in Saudi in 40 years. The last was a green traveller in 1978.
A few about in Dubai, where they are seriously into cars.
Probably some rich guys collection. Looked mint, but strangely no cover. Blown sand on that road eats your paint.

Re: Spotted today.
Artistic licence! Endeavour is set in Oxford, and although we all know that the Morris Minor came from there, and might have been a logical choice, Oxford Police used Mk1 Ford Escorts as their Panda Cars in the late 1960s. They also had a few Lotus Cortinas for when a bit more speed was neededfiredrake1942 wrote:Lovely Minor Panda Car in 'Endeavour' tonight. It drove away and sounded very sweet. No index visible.
As an aside, the Morris Motors Museum - in Long Hanborough near Oxford and well worth a visit - contains an original (ex Met Police I think) Minor Panda Car along with a good deal of interesting exhibits.
