Morris Minor Owners Club

Maybe I’m behind the curve but I saw one of these scooters the other day, it actually had a seat! . What next, wing mirrors, indicators, fairing ? They’ll soon be motorcycles!

Didn't they used to be called mobility scooters?

I do think there's something in your viewpoint, Mike. I too have been of the opinion, for some time, that there is a clean fuel solution bubbling somewhere just under the surface, ready to miraculously surface......... just as oil is about to run out. I know that makes me sound like some cranky cons...

I presume it is the same Bugatti company that we all know and love, is it? If so, which came first the car or the vices? I know a few high end cars came from humble beginnings such a cycles and tractors but it's a quantum leap from a vice (even a very, very nice one!) to a luxury motorcar. If it was...

How about this for a vice:- https://tula-bug.co.uk/for_sale/large-bugatti-vice/ Wow! Have you seen the prices? £5,500 PLUS VAT for the 'daddy' vice and £1650 PLUS VAT for the 'baby' vice. If I could afford those sort of amounts for a vice, I think I would be able to afford someone else to do the jo...

Hi - welcome aboard the good ship SS Moggy

Sent you a PM with a suggestion of someone who may be able to help, hence not posting on main forum, yet.....just in case.

Awful Roof Line.

Agreed. I didn't see that just from the photo I posted.

Another problem. Which owners club do you join?

This is for sale.

The ultimate 'cut and shut'? Perhaps, but I'm not sure and I don't think I'm going to risk £44.995 to see if it grows on me.

Where can you get these giant boot lids from?

I've no idea how this apparent optical illusion works.....I expect someone on here will come up with some photographic/scientific explanation soon.

How big are the big ends going to be for that? Surely they're going to need a box of giant ends? I think they're still looking for some NOS.

As I've said before on here, I'm no expert on anything whatsoever, so that includes lcv prices but surely this one is a tad overpriced?

Phew, what a relief...............I thought it was just me :D This is one of my pet hates too and I have to say, along with many other grammatical errors, that are all too frequently seen in adverts and forums......even classic car magazines! Last month's 'Practical Classics' referred to uprating Ma...

Thanks MM for the 'transitional' explanation. Whilst I've got everyone's attention.......just for the record, what is the form or etiquette on showing registration numbers on this particular thread? Or is there none at all? I have posted a couple of snaps before but they have either been exhibition ...

I was given to understand that the so-called 'transitional' models were from Sept/Oct '62 after the introduction of the 1098cc engine up to late '63/early '64 when all the old parts bins were finally empty and production proceeded with all the new upgrades, including the pivotal/radial style windscr...

That is very striking 8) An odd combination though: You've blanked the reg number so maybe it is an earlier car painted in a late colour(?) but, on the face of it, I assumed it was a late production model (late colour, late interior mirror and front lights) but then spotted the early clap hands wip...

I have a friend with a 1954 MG Roadster which is not assembled and the only part missing is.....

I guessed 'chassis' or 'bodywork'....honest guv! Do I get a prize?

I've seen it few times (always in the same place) whilst out on my bike....but either never had my phone on me or been too busy. Today was the day!
It is an absolutely beautiful lime flower green traveller park outside Millhouses park, Sheffield about a mile from my home.

I'm sure, Mike, we're both on the same side here. I abhor, as much as you do, the bully boy tactics of the scumbag outfits that you have described. There's a difference between targeted advertising (eg: kids toys on CBeebies, rather than during News at Ten) and exploitation of vulnerable people. We ...

I'm probably going to stick my head above the parapet here by suggesting that gambling and any of the other addictive 'vices' (alcohol, drugs, smoking etc.) are not compulsory . In a free society, they are all lifestyle choices. Of course, I accept that some, if not all, of the companies selling the...

Well these scammers are always Mobile Phone contact only, so you'd have to hide your number as a minimum or they'd most likely play merry hell with your phone account in revenge. Good point. A few weeks ago, I gave one of my regular landline callers (Amazon Prime or HMRC or some such other) a piece...
