Contact details of West Wiltshire required
Hi there
As a new Morris Minor owner I would really like to join my local MMOC meet up this Friday but I can't seem to locate the details for the secretary of the West Wiltshire branch. Can I just turn up?
Any help appreciated...

Cleaner and hood protector advice
Can anyone recommend a car cleaner and hood cleaner / polish protector for my Morris Minor convertible.
A friend recommended Mer car shampoo can I use that on a vinyl hood and is there anything else you can suggest to clean / protect it?
Any tips for a new Moggy owner greatly appreciated

Petrol 95 or 97?
Hi there
My new Morris Minor has a 1098cc engine I have heard mixed reports about whether to use standard unleaded 95 or super. Some say there is no point using super. What do you say?

Oil and locking device advice
I've just become the very proud owner of a 1958 Morris Minor convertible. It has been fully restored.
Can anyone recommend what type and brand of oil to use?
I would also like to get a locking device for the car.
Any recommendations on either of those greatly appreciated

Re: Advice on pre sale Morris Minor check
Goodness this really is opening a can of worms. It seems to be causing more of a stir than the EU referendum!
Again I am very grateful of your advice and comments but please don't let it cause conflict, we have more important things to worry about at the moment.

Re: Advice on pre sale Morris Minor check
Thank you all very much for your advice and input, it's very kind of you to take the time. I have made a note of your points and will be sure to get further advice.

Re: Advice on pre sale Morris Minor check
Thanks very much everyone for your help and comments. I shall check those things out, although I would imagine Charles Ware would have checked the chassis no as part of the inspection. Re: mileage I know the engine has been reconditioned but I don't have the details on when that was. Even so the mil...

Re: Advice on pre sale Morris Minor check
Third time lucky! I've copied and pasted the text from the Charles Ware doc: The car in general is sound in the chassis and underside. Structurally the bodywork is good. The car has been resprayed and there are signs of poor preparation and a lack of attention to detail, and also one or two areas wh...

Advice on pre sale Morris Minor check
Hello everyone I am in the process of buying a beautiful Morris Minor which I've just had a car check on by Charles Ware. A few things came up in the check and it does sound like it might be priced a bit too high. I have attached the check notes. I would look at getting a brake servo for safety but ...

Re: Insurance
Thank you all so much for being so helpful, you're all so lovely! As I just mentioned to Dave unfortunately things are on hold now as a few things have come in in the car check I had done by Charles Ware. Hopefully it will just be a case of reducing the asking price. I'm wondering whether I could as...
