Whilst looking at the Facebook page of the MMOC I came across this new book. I cannot remember seeing any mention of it on the message board so have posted a link to it below.

I suspect some things you've done may be in there phil!
68' 4-door Saloon, another 'Monty'.

That'll probably be the same Matt Tomkins who writes/works for Practical Classics magazine, and who owns at least a couple of Minors. Looks like an interesting read...

Re: New Morris Minor book by Matt Tomkins.
The Minor was good when it first came out but times have changed - if the Minor was produced today to original specification it could be considered unusable or scrap.
Basically - to use a Minor in todays motoring environment requires some sensible modifications to compete with todays traffic.
How many comment on here make reference to the fact that owners are sticking to minor roads to escape the volume and pressure from todays traffic.
Improvements to make a Minor safer and user friendly are all to the good.

Re: New Morris Minor book by Matt Tomkins.
Hi,
For those interested, I emailed Matt and he thinks it should be available around the end of March.
I too think it looks interesting enough to buy a copy.
Best wishes,
Mike.
