Usually that gets asked after I've spent months getting it mechanically sound and roadworthy
One day there may not be any Morris 1000s left on the road

Normally I just get asked if i'm "going to do it up".

I must admit that I do like Minors that although they may look a bit shabby, are mechanically and structurally sound, and subtlely modified, i.e a wolf in sheeps clothing

Just go into any newsagents and look around, you will see dozens of magazines devoted to VWs, plenty of Ford mags, Japanese car mags, etc..Judge wrote:Hopefully we can keep the younger generation interested in them.
Do you see anything to do with Morris?...
...Very rarely
This is something that I think needs to be addresses, the car needs more publicity in order to gain more following.

Just to make it clear I'm not having a go at any body producing the magazines, I think they are doing a great job, I just feel that they need more publicity.
Now I'll sit down and think of ways in which it can be achieved

Is a set of Wolseley 1500 brakes subtle enough for you? If so you must love Lintilla, who is getting gradually more solid and shabbier-looking by the day.Judge wrote:I must admit that I do like Minors that although they may look a bit shabby, are mechanically and structurally sound, and subtlely modified, i.e a wolf in sheeps clothing

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
