Dealing with a loss.......of a car.

Post by davidpidge »

I've just sold Morris. He went to a good home but I only had one! Now i'm just a Transit driver. dark days.

After saying i'd never have a traveller because I thought the wood would be an extra issue I didnt need and I didnt really like them I have now completely changed my mind and would love one! I wont be buying for a few weeks though so if someons selling a cheap roadworthy one, hang on for a bit! :D

I'd never sway from the Moggies. Almost bought a Volvo amazon but was put off by the cost of parts.(learned from a friends experience) Also looked at a Wolesley 1500.

Wolseley 1500s are fantastic. I still regret letting mine go. They are totally diferent in character to the Minor and a lot more powerful.

we've got a 1500. it's just like a minor to work on. just everything is a bit bigger and heavier. and harder to get replacements for! much happier with my minors :lol:

I just wish I still had my 1500! It was much more powerful than the Minor to drive, and great for daily use. I never had any problems with parts supply, being a B series engine there are plentiful spares available.
