Hi
I have just had the 1970's Morris Traveller (Cyril) for 2 weeks.
I am looking forward to being part of the Morris community.
Regards

Welcome. Looks very good. Changed wheels, have the powerplant and drivetrain been uprated? That looks like a seaside location - South Coast? Have you joined the club and received your copy of Minoir Matters? You'll find details of a special celebration for Travellers in September - hope to see you there.

The wheels look like Minator alloys to me which are a straight replacement for minor standard wheels.

Hi Thanks for your responses.
The previous owner updated the wheels to try and get his son to keep it in the family, but the son didn't want it hence the sale. He also changed the steering wheel, however he is sending up the original steering wheel and wheel trims this week so I can convert it back to its former self. The motor was replaced 20 years ago so it only has 8 thousand on the clock.
I don't think the powerplant or the drivetrain have been updated?
I have joined the club and am based in Southport Merseyside.
Thanks for the book recommendations, I am looking forward to reading these.
Here is another pic of the dash board and interior. Excuse the gramophone it was a joke on facebook talking about my state of the art sound system.

Looks like you cruise around blasting pedestrians with waltzes and other new fangled dance music :)
