Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi everyone, just looking for a little 'upholstery' advice... The back seat on my morris 1000 (Bergerac, to those who know of him :-))has burst at the top of the seam. Almost 20cm. The leather (which is original 1958 :-) ) is a little brittle and even the stitching is pulling through what remains on...

Thanks Ewen, when is the next meeting??

Ok, lm puzzled...lve had the car into a family mechanic's twice due to a couple of AA emergency breakdown recoveries!!! Points have been adjusted and sorted out, timing belt tightened and a real good all over check up of the car. Alrhough despite rhis we broke down again last week :-( the same as th...

Brucek, fab photos! Glad you had a great day. Sadly my 1st 'drive it day' with Bergerac was rather eventful. Almost made it to Ardrossen for a photo shoot God bless the AA!

Thanks ewan, hope to meet up with u guys at s
ome point soon!

Bergerac had a day out today - here he is looking at the Isle of Arran [frame][/frame]

Is autoglym best for chrome work? l have a lttle pitted'ness on my bonnet handle and l realise that no amount of elbow grease will fix that, but l was wondering what a good chrome polish would be for all over chrome work? Thanks Joyce

Ps- thanks for saying he looks great. Wonderful to drive Really appriciate hearing from experienced owners.x

Inverkip actually Bergerac passed his mot on monday Would u explain the bar thing? x

Hi Ewen, yes that would be great. Tried to join up to the Scottish minors during the week but my internet connection seemed to be having problems. Would love to see what you think of the car too

Hi everyone, l have been a proud owner now for 5 days :-) After driving my new minor 1000 for most of the week l am sure it feels like he is almost waking from a very long slumber. The previous owner took wonderful care of him but sadly didnt have much opportunity to drive him around. So the car arr...

Photos here now [frame][/frame][frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

Mmm ok the photo doesnt seem to be here??? Give me a moment...

Well here he is. First run out to the seaside. ok, so it's on my doorstep but it was a lovely drive :-):-) I think Im hooked!!

Ewen, that is brilliant, lm on Dalry, so Prestwick is really close by! Brucek, that's what lm talking about! Beautiful photograph. Maybe l can upload photo's of my own moggy in the summer.

I think it's wonderful how supportive on here. I know a fair bit of what lm looking for 58- early 60's 4 door saloon. mot'd, and sound enough to get me going. l know that's probably a real 'newbie' way of looking at a minor, but lm learning more about thesr wee cars everyday! :D l have been in one t...

Brucek, you're a star.x I haven't heard back from the bathgate guy though l did speak to my local mechanic today and he also gave good advice. Dave from the north east branch got in touch and gave sound tips too, so fingers crossed, l'll be lucky. Thanks for keeping in touch. l really appriciate it....

Oooo possibly...are they even more fabulous??? lol

Thanks robedney, lm in north ayrshire. If there's any scottish moggies out there, I hope to find them. thanks again.
