Re: 1964 MINOR TRAVELLER PROJECT! The Manky Moggy!
Mr Manky is now fully road legal,and about to go on his first shopping trip to the local supermarket for years.
No doubt he will get a bit of attention from the shoppers there.
Once that has been done I will take him for a spin to the local common for a photoshoot to let him see the countryside again and cheer him up!
I just need to fettle his tuning to try and get the 0-60 time up a bit!

Re: 1964 MINOR TRAVELLER PROJECT! The Manky Moggy!
Just a heads up on the current situation re Mr Manky.
I have been informed of a very early 1 owner,low miles Rover P6B,"V8",on a farm,and stored in a garage for the last 30yrs that I really would like to get my hands on if it turns out to be as described!
I hope to investigate,view,and possibly do a deal for it this weekend,therefore Mr Manky may well be up for sale very soon,as I have limited space!
If there is anyone who maybe interested in Mr Manky,drop me a PM,and if/when the time comes,I will contact you.
Cheers Dave

We had a 1969 2yr old 2000E corsair when I was 12 and it was nowt but trouble,dad got shot of it within 3 months for a 1970 Rover 2000TC,that was dad work car for 6 yrs,then he gave it to me for my 18th when he got a company car!
Mum had the G reg Morris Traveller for family use from 1972-77 then bought a Mk3 Cortina.
