The Most Famous Minor?

Post by **croft** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 2:37 pm

I was just wondering what would be classed as the Most Famous Minor? To the general public it might be Lovejoys convertable or the one from Open all Hours but how about you minor enthusiasts? is there one that springs to mind as soon as someone says Morris Minor?

The original factory experimental car I would say! They called it Mosquito - but it was the first Minor.

Lovejoy's all the way!
I grew up watching that with my Grandad (grandparents lived with us).

Other than that, since first considering Minors I've covetted the purple JLH trav, spotted by chance in an article years ago.

My guess at famousity:
First position I'd say Nick Mann's - known by almost all (over 40 year old) petrol heads and some of the younger ones.
Then Dot Cotton's green Traveller
Then Nurse Glady's Traveller
Then Lovejoy's various different cars / converted saloon.
Then NWL - which seems only to be known in Minor circles
Then The Archbishop's ex car (Was rallied, then shown and a book written)

Didn't Nurse Gladys have a 2-door saloon?

White IIRC. Not a traveller then

I think I should have stayed in the garage
