Well.... Steve's had the traveller for a couple of years now - and it's still an 'on going' project - and one that he would have liked to have given up on many a time! If your interested in details I can get him to tell me all and I'll relay it - he's not computer friendly and I'm not that mechanically minded.
He decided to change his modern motor for a Minor after I'd been using my old lady 'Poppy' for about a year. Only a traveller would be suitable though as it had to be something that would be able to carry tools ect for work and also one that would be able to cope with everyday life (carrying teenagers to and from uni and pulling the caravan etc).
Steve's had some 'unique' ideas for her (I'm being polite). The top box being one of them - some folk ask if it's a wardrobe, others a coffin

Quite an innotive idea. I wouldent have thought any minor would have had enough space for such a thing.

That wagon is SACKED yo!

lol, might need some better springs in the back, i cant imagine that cornering would be the safest thing to do with the car sitting like that

poppet - have you ever thought of fitting lcv springs instead?

Post by **bigginger** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 1:28 pm

Not possible without either fitting an LCV chassis or a lot of fabrication.

The picture is deceptive - we were parked at the Mere in Hornsea and the surface there is very uneven - needless to say we were in a dip!!
I'll try to find another photo with a better view - this was taken at the Beverley Kite Festival (pre top box days)

It's all good harmless fun - and keeps Steve busy and out of mischief

Well Liz I think that classifies as the first truly camper traveller I have ever seen and the cooking arrangements look good as well

actually just needs a sleeve on the front pin to step the diameter up to fit the larger bushes.
(I've had LCV springs on a saloon)

Does this classify as a working Minor

Post by **IaininTenbury** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 10:28 am

Perhaps only HALF working.... Unless there's a surprise over their back door!

That looks like a fun bar Kevin, where is it?

Post by **RussLCV** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 8:13 pm

Is it in Minorca? That is not a joke either

Post by **SteveandWilliam** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 5:26 pm

It seems Martell might have had a fleet of Minors. It was a picture in their distillery in Cognac.

Steve and William

can you tell more about the image? Do you have the photograph if possible can I have a scan?

Its a bar on the Edge of Rhodes Town in Rhodes so almost right Russ.

I'm afraid that is the best I have- its a digital photo taken of a picture hanging in a dingy corner of the Martell Cellars in Cognac. The bright light in the middle is the reflection of my flash! I can send you the image by e-mail if it would help?
