Hi all
My father's first car was a Morris Minor 1000 with the registration 950 MPH. A long shot, but anybody know anything about this car?

Re: Help needed regarding the history of a car
No record of it on the DVLA system, which means it's probably been off the road for many years. The plate hasn't been transferred as far as I can tell. I'm afraid it's probably gone to meet Mr Issigonis, unless it's been stored away somewhere. When was it last on the road?

Re: Help needed regarding the history of a car
Many thanks - better start reading up as my dad has mentioned that he would love to own a Morris 1000 again. Sounds like a good father / son project. However, as a complete novice, one has a lot to learn. And tips?

Re: Help needed regarding the history of a car
This website is an excellent starting point. Plenty of friendly and helpful advice here. Also, there's a thread regarding Minor related books here; http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=33904 You might also find a Haynes (or similar) manual useful - very cheap on eBay. You're right; Minors are an excellent father/son project, my three and a half year old son insists on 'helping' me with mine!
