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
Thank you :D

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

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...

Re: Insurance

Thank very much liammonty I'm also low risk at 43 and location I think the main issue is that a logo on the back is considered a modification so RH and Footman James wont insure it and most people don't use cars like this for business but my business is a bit different to most as most people don't h...
