Re: What to do with my car....
I am serious... Well, kind of. I would like to make the car as modern as possible, but I know there will be limit. But I would like to see just how far I can go... Especially while keeping it all hidden. My working life was that of a design engineer, and so I want to have a play around in my retire...

Re: 1961 Four Door Saloon Project failure for spare parts
As most parts are available to rebuild the bottom half, wouldn't it be better to sell complete to someone who would be willing to take it on? Obviously the price would have to be rock bottom as restoration won't be cheap, but if you've owned it that long it doesn't owe you anything. (And it looked 1...

Re: New Club Insurance for your Minor (and other cars)
UPDATE : thank you to the admin who contacted PJI about my gripe with not being able to insure my son on the Minor. One of the directors called me, and they have looked at his age and are happy to add him on this occasion. Great stuff, in over 48 years of motoring and motorcycling, I have never had ...

Re: New Club Insurance for your Minor (and other cars)
Just used the link and got a quote that is cheaper than last year's policy, also with PJ. But, I rang them to add my son, who is 24 and a learner, and no, they won't put him on as a named driver. Even if I transferred ownership to him they won't insure ANY learner driver, they must have minimum two ...

Re: Anyone here using their Morris Minor as a daily driver in 2025?
I don't own a modern car, though I have use of my wife's much of the time. I find around town the Minor is just as good as a modern car. Most speed limits are 30/40 around here, so an old car is no handicap! A few upgrades as mentioned could be useful.

Floor 1/4 replacement
Hi all, our 1963 four door saloon is a daily driver. But, though it was restored a few years ago, actually really quite a few years ago, there are some panels needing attention. The passenger side floor is the worst. My wife is away for a week and whilst she's gone, I can use her car. So, is it feas...

Re: 322 UXG
I am now in contact with Andy, who restored the car with his late father. He kindly gave me some great history of the vehicle too.

Re: 322 UXG
Wow, never knew that there was such a thing as a DPM!
Just checked the VIN and details on your website. It is definitely a phase 1 De-Luxe. Am literally just off to bed, but will message you on this further, many thanks, kind regards, Tony.

Re: 322 UXG
Yes, it's my son's, though at the moment I'm the one on the v5 as we had trouble with getting an insurance renewal. We bought it in late 2023 in a bit of a hurry, (needed a car quick), and paid a dealer way too much for it. But it has been in constant use ever since. Currently up on axle stands as w...
