Morris Minor Owners Club

oregon looks lovely

the fact that it always starts no matter how long i leave it and no little bits of plastic break off when i work on it .

great pics and good information

thanks

I use mine everyday for work, dual carriageway maybe the same one you use (A13). Mine is an unmodified 948cc, it does in excess of 13,000 miles a year no problem. As long as you keep it well maintained it will not let you down. Mick good to hear , hopefully soon the A13 will have a couple of minors...

i am also planning to buy a trav to use everyday and starting to think i should have done it years ago !

thanks all As i said i already have one minor in the garage undergoing some work , so i have a good idea of what minor ownership is about but i only tend to use it at weekends . My daily commute to work is 25 miles each way on dual carriageway . Cant wait to sell the beetle and get myself a travelle...

thanks for your support and advice .

i am trying to sweet talk the wife and daughter at the moment if not it will be me and my 13 year old son who i am amazed to hear loves my new car and begs me to take it out all the time as opposed to a new mondeo .
what a proud father i am !

agree 100% everytime i need a question answered the replies are swift , polite and very very friendly .
i think the members are a reflection on the car honest with a likeable nature .
