Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all,

It's a long shot but would anyone have a wiper motor for a 1954 minor or the armature? Lucas CRT type

This was my first time working on a petrol car let alone a 70 year old one, I don't think I did too badly
All experience in the end and really enjoyed it. There was no smoke at all which surprised me too, but she is running sweet now

Little update, I have had the carb out and put back together, needle and jet lined up and piston moves freely and returns with a nice clunk. I left it for a while and it started straight up and only started to have issues as it got hotter. Im thinking potential vapour lock and am wondering if I have...

Hi new to classic cars so be gentle. I am having issues with my mother's 1954 moggie with the 1098cc engine fitted, I can get it started and drive it around and it has plenty of power, however at idle it slows down and cuts out. Fuel pump is working, float bowl full when it cuts out. Will stay runni...

Hi Simon, is the engine still available?
