Restauration of MM serie 1949 2doors salon

Post by francois.gerards »

Hello,

Here I start with my project. My Minor 1949 is now at home. It is in quite good condition for its 62 years. It needs a full painting and full revision of electric system, new tyres (still with original ones) and rear suspension. The hydraulic system (breaks) needs also work and patience....

And I did'nt find the original papers of the car...[frame]Image[/frame]

Supèrbe - lovely looking project for 2012, makes me think that I should buy the 1950 MM still for sale in Finistère, Brittany
Félicitations François.

Looks to be a nice straight car and will be well worth restoring :D

Très belle! I love seeing Minors in countries aside from those that constitute the former British Empire. :lol: Just lovely, and I'm glad to see you're going to restore it. Bon chance, mon ami.
The way to a man's heart may be making food, but the way to my heart is buying me car parts!
Come read about my Minor at An American Moggie.
