The book you should acquire is MAGNIFICENT MORRIS MINOR by Max Horvat, published in 1990 by Bookmarque (ISBN 1870519108). Max bought the car new; I do not know who owns it currently, but I believe it was bought by another MMOC member who was known to him. The MMOC office in Derby may be able to assi...

There is plenty of documented history attached to it, including a book by it's first owner (alas no longer with us) who was a well-known and popular MMOC member. I shall tr...

I have discovered that the address I offered for Tippers is no longer valid. However, the following may well be the updated version as it is not too far distant from the last; also, the gentleman there to whom I spoke in 1991 said that he was approaching retirement: Peter Tipper, Signmakers, 33, Pur...
