Is anyone building new morris minors now?

Post by Katie.J »

This is probably a daft question, but I wondered if anyone ever made a serious effort of manufacturing new morris minors?

I know I'm sellling mine soon but they are soooo cute!! I mean no other car is really as nice looking. Plus the fact that they seem to have so much more character than todays modern ones.

Would I marry mine? Yes probably! :lol:

Sorry Katie but the nearest some years ago was the Opus car by Chris Street in Somerset but that was a modified car and only the prototype was made.
