Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi I have finally come to a decision and consequently Morris is going to a restorer on Monday to be stripped back, primed and resprayed, inside and out. So my question is, what colour should I use? He is a dark green at the moment, and the body letter suggests that he was a mid or empire green origi...

Thanks everyone!

PS It is SO frustrating looking at all your beautiful clean Morries! Very very jealous!

Hi I'm trying to replace the door handles on my morris with nice newly chromed ones- but I can't work out how to get them off short of angle grinding away part of the door! I have undone the bolts in the end of the door, and everything is loose, but I can't get it to wriggle out of the hole! Can any...

Ditto about the wax polish- seems to keep the water out and chrome shiny. I use Turtle Wax- but I don't know if it is available where you live.

Hi I have a morris minor which I had sprayed recently by a so-called professional- so he's now looking a thousand times worse than he went. The cause has been cited as a silicone reaction, in spite of extensive use of grease and silicone remover. Now I'm stuck with a car that looks like he has goose...
