Morris Minor Owners Club

I saw a few at Beaulieu at the Spring Autojumble. The last pair I had had to be rubbed down and filled externally and the seized bolts drilled out The Chrome and the gaskets as well as the lenses are all readily available but be careful, the lenses fitted numerous rear lights for the period.

Not a bad representation of a lowlight MM other than the shaped chrome bumper blade, missing bumper fillet and yuk (wrong) bonnet furniture. The short bonnet / bulkhead joint is over-rounded.

It's worth looking on the Morris Minor France pages as they occasionally break cars over there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/794559104794198 or contact the AMMF (Amicable Morris Minor France). Amicale Morris Minor France is a dedicated club for classic car enthusiasts based in France, managed lar...

Is it not connected internally, to the 'collar' on the steering column just after the column support?

These were used on Series III cars in the late 1950s with, as here, a side entry distributor cap. Great for originality, not so great if you are working near them when the engine is running, or using a radio in the car.

Cutting edge in its day!

They were a part of the original tool-kits for Series II and Series III vehicles until Chassis No 848240 and had part number 1G7372. They will fit Se...

I saw numerous sets at both Beaulieu and Enfield in the last few weeks, and nowhere near that expensive.

Hammer and screwdriver at the ready, I went to see an ex-Met Police Minor, local to Uttlesford. It is a former MPS car, from the VRM, and the owner has a V5 in his name The current owner bought it quite a few years ago as a project but other projects and family issues got in the way. It has been dry...

There are bargains and bits that are difficult to locate which can be found at Beaulieu. I think it is worth a visit. The September one is bigger and international in nature. My problem is that the organisers are letting in sellers of toot and junk so it is occasionally like a boot sale rather than ...

A 35 / A 40 specialists do it! but specify Minor as otherwise they will cut to the wrong length.

The Mini, the Beetle, the fiat 500 and their larger versions are all very well in their way but none have the charm of 1950s /60s motoring with early braking, effective distances, double de-clutching and the occasional ingress of rain. For me, my modern car is great, but my heart lifts on driving th...

Rather than butcher the B post, and if you really want to do this, have you considered. externally fitted trafficators , often seen on earlier Minor LCV's as they were not fitted with trafficators? See them frequently at auto jumbles.
