Morris Minor Owners Club

I didn't realise all minors were rear wheel drive - is this dangerous? How do they pull on a motorway? are they noisy?

Any further thoughts/advice welcome x

Thanks guys x

Hi Mark,

I havent yet been to a local branch (not quite sure where that is!) neither have a driven one or seen one in real life; I just know I love them

Hi Guys, Thank you for the further feedback. Marky B - I am yet to view any MMs in person; my dilema is finding one near enough. Every other one i've found and liked is a long way to travel when i'm not 100% sure. Tough to get around! I'm unsure of the porcelain green one mainly because of the respr...

What's the view on this one?
(Thank you Louise!)

Mark - Please bare with me whilst I compare my favourites, yours is still a contender.

Hey Mark, Thanks for your post; it really does look like a lovely car - the interior is great. There are a few points that cause concern for me though.

Hey Mike, Thank you so much for all the info; it really does help! And yes....the blue is for me i think although the dove grey is also lovely. My ideal would have been porcelain green however I haven't found one and am told they are very hard to get hold of as they didn't make many. I've been going...

What do u think would be a good price? Also no pics of the underneath yet & owner cant confirm the mileage; says I shouldnt get hung up on this when looking for a MM.... Should i bother viewing? Apart from it looking in good condition its closer to me than most ive seen....

Thank you Dom!! Great advice

Thanks guys

PS - I just wish I could task someone else to find me something suitable!!

Thank you everyone for your input and Mike for all your links; it's so nice to be able to get some expert advice. Just goes to show how little I know! I'm in 2 minds about this one - I feel I may be opening a can of worms which I just can't afford to do.

The search goes on.....
