doesnt make a great deal of difference what you go for as they are a bit of a muchness in terms of a project & it depends on what you are looking for

Travellers you need to make sure the wood is good. LCVs have seperate chassis whereas the cars don't

spares for the late cars are amazing whereas the early cars its pretty difficult!

Personally I'm going to go for a 948cc 2 door for my next one....

Welcome to the forum, H, hope you are enjoying your work at the coachbuilders!

It might be a good idea to go to a couple of Minor rallies, and perhaps see if you have a local branch near you - prodding around other people's cars and asking them questions is a good way to suss out what you might prefer yourself.

A traveller might be the least good option as a first car, unless you like a real challenge; they are more expensive than the saloons and there is the wood to consider on top of all the other standard things.

Look forward to hearing more from you
