Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi Kevin,Thank you for your input re wedding hire.I have now given up on the idea.Bob.

Thanks for your help and info'

Why is the ''events'' catagory LOCKED thereby not able to post a report on it !! Is it me ?

Just returned after a great visit to the Austin/Morris day at Brooklands in Surrey.The selection of Minors was impressive and they looked resplendent in the sushine but I couldn't find a ''million'' amongst them. However,there were several other marques which made it a worthwhile trip.

Back in 1963 I purchased a new Minor 2 door saloon Reg No NMG 534 in Almond Green.It started life in Finchley north London and I'm wondering if it is still in existence or can anyone tell me how to find out what may or may not have happened to it.

In the latest Minor Matters is an advert ''Wedding Classic Car Hire''.Does anyone have any of knowledge or experience on this subject? I have been on their web site and they want £20 to be entered on their ''cars for a wedding'' site so before I commit myself,if I do, I would like any feed back from...

The prices I quoted are ''per person'' .Weather forecast looks good.Bob.

I have checked the Brooklands web site re March 11th.Yes we would use the Brooklands Road ( B374 ) entrance.Just turn up and the entrance fees are £10 (seniors £9) with a £1 discount if you come in an Austin or Morris car.You can opt to grant ''gift aid'' which will add about a £1 to these prices.

Not clever enough to post a picture ( I did try ).My Minor details are :- 2 door saloon in Maroon B, Reg No CNU 785 G.Fingers crossed for a dry day.

Just a gentle reminder about the Austin/Morris day at Brooklands in Surrey on Sunday March 11th.If the weather is fair I shall take my Minor there which will be the first dedicated rally I will have attended.I have been to Brooklands in the past and it is a fantastic venue for anyone with an interes...

My friend Miriam is safe and sound and ''salt free'' in her own garage and will stay there until this mess is washed away.It's boring I know but it's my choice.Anyone going to the Austin-Morris day at Brooklands (Weybridge) in March ? If it's dry I shall be there.

Did anyone catch the Minor on BBC Countryfile tonight.?

Thanks Chris.I thought it was me losing it. Bob

Hi, The weight watchers ''ad'' is a white 4 door saloon.Hope I haven't got my wires crossed.Bob Claydon

Within the past few days I have seen a tv commercial depicting a white Minor convertable.Don't know what the product was so keep your eyes peeled! Bob Claydon

Hi, I now have the replacement switch so apart from taking the steering wheel off what else do I need to do? My helpful supplier says I need to take out the glove box etc.Can you advise me.Thanks Bob Claydon.

Thanks for info re '' my first minor '' I'm probably teaching you to 'suck eggs' but NMG was a Middlesex registration and I have found in a diary that I bought it in February 1963.Should I try and contact the Middlesex council if there is such a thing! Bob.

Thanks for the tip Bob Claydon

The indicator switch on my 1969 Minor has partly broken.When turning left the flashing arm does not ''click'' and stay in place,turning right is ok.Is this a replacable component or will I need to buy a whole switch?.

I purchased my first and new Morris Minor in February 1963 from a dealer in Finchley north London, Reg No NMG 534.I am trying to find the chassis No etc etc. I have contacted DVLA who say they can't help me ( and returned my £5 cheque ).The car was/is a 2door saloon in Almond Green,can anyone help m...
