Careful.....Don't knock ABBA!
My 1956 Series 11 Traveller! Bought when I was 17 (1985)....sold 6 years (1991) later......bought back 9 years after that! (2000) With 6 different owners in the middle, what a lucky boy I am!

Of course the question is, is it worth driving a VW just for a good weekend away? My missus had one once, when the phrase "if only everything in life was as reliable as a volkswagen" was de riguer, how we laughed every time she rang me when she broke down with ever alarming frequency, usually in the winter, if the panzers were that quality of build no wonder they lost the flippin war :roll:

You'd be surprised how many 'youngsters' drive Minors... we're going to have quite a large presence at this year's national rally.

May be a bit much for the older generation though :D I bet quite a few pace makers would be working double time!

well, we might speculate that some of us youngsters do that already :P hehe
as young owners, we are working hard to embrace the past and current club atmosphere and ethos, and look forward to preserving these cars and the minor community for the future. we are merely custodians for these cars, and must work together to ensure they have a good future ahead of them...
