Morris Minor Owners Club

I used Adrian Flux for four years. I am a Certified ROSPA Advanced driving Tutor - AF have a special on ROSPA members. The first year I obtained a 60% discount on my renewal quote by going with Equity Red Star Insurance (a Lloyds consortium) through Adrian Flux. When I was sent the renewal for year ...

I went to Adrian Flux four years ago because I am a RoSPA Advanced Driving Tutor. They treated me well for the first two years (my wife also went with them for her car insurance). Last year they were 'iffy' but after 'negotiations' became reasonable. This ye we have both left Adrian Flux as, once ag...

I don't know if this will help but; My Mum had a severe condensation problem in her 1961 4-door saloon. The drivers footwell was always damp (sodden) after rain.

She has also lived in the same house for over 60 years - she doesn't like change much. Yes, I will post a picture of he at the wheel when I ne...

Good morning everyone, I have just started to strip the original 1961 948 engine from my Mums Morris (she is 92 in May and still drives her car daily - it currently has a replacement 1098 in it but I'd like to keep it as original as possible). Although I will probably have a lot of questions over th...
