Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, I don't want to hijack this thread, but I assume a drivers seat will fit in place of a passengers; my wife needs some extra wiggle room to get in, and it seems like a drivers seat with the adjuster will slide further back, even if they're both mounted on the back set of holes. Is this the case?

This may well be the case. I don't know why I bought a Minor, I've been a speed freak all my life. Maybe I'm mellowing, but I still get enraged when somebody holds me up, so Roxy must be quick enough.

I keep reading lots of comments about the noise level in a Minor being too high to hear a radio. I would suggest, if that's the case, either there's something wrong with the Minor is question or with the hearing of the driver. 8) I've had my 1970 2-door for 6 months now and have an old radio fitted ...

It's not a 'bah, humbug' thing, I love Xmas, it's just I reckon if you haven't got a 7 year old as a regular passenger, don't decorate your car. I'm just the same with those infantile 'eyelashes' on Fiat ...

Just as an added note, people shouldn't assume that you can't get a Mog quote from one of the usual websites. I just got quotes from Confused.com for a 1970 2dr, social, pleasure and commuting, 6000 miles, kept on drive, only car, one additional driver (my wife), with protected no claims bonus. The ...

Hi again and thanks for all the useful comments. Fortunately, I have a brother-in-law who is a mechanic and has restored his own Scimitar SE4, so I can rely on his beady eyes to help me in the search for a good 'un! Hopefully, if I give Millenium a call and let them know I'm in the market, they'll c...

Hi, new club member here. I've been lurking on the board for quite a while now, looking for any useful hints and just generally soaking up the atmosphere, so I thought I'd dip my toe in at last. My reason for joining the club is that I am intending to buy a moggy early next year in a spirit of exper...
