New splitscreen owner

Post by **Psiteep** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 4:05 pm

Dear Sticky and All,
Last week I dreampt about a 1953 Morris Minor being for sale on Ebay. When I woke I told my wife over a cuppa. You see our very first car had been a 1953 Split Windscreen Morris Minor. Well, I looked on Ebay and blow me if there wasn't one there! We had talked about Jemima and often said we'd love one. Well, I mean to say, after the dream we had to have her. Jemima Two I suppose, but we shall probably call her Jemima and forget the number.
I bid for her and got her for £800, if I've paid too much I don't care. The engine is sound and I know my way round Morris's pretty well. I may well need help, suh as where do I get a rear bumper? Can I buy semapho indicators? From the picture on eBay Jemima has been fitted with more modern indicators.
I must say my wife and I feel so much younger and all because we have managed to buy a Jemima.
Psiteep and Jay

Welcome to the site Psiteep & Jay

. I moved your post from the 'Leo Run' thread as your post was not connected to the Leo run. By the way, Sticky isn't a person it just means that the thread has been made a 'sticky'

Whereabouts are you? You can add your location by clicking on the 'profile' button at the top of the page. As for spare parts, these are readily available in the UK. There are a number of Minor traders and you can also get spares on ebay or put an ad in the wanted section of this site as someone might have the part you are looking for.
