Re: new here
Welcome Mr Bird. Hope you enjoy the forum. Plenty of helpful folk to answer queries if you have any. Meantime, as we're an inquisitive bunch, how about posting some pics of your Minor for us?

Re: new here
Easily done. Max was an 'accidental' purchase. I'd still be interested to learn about Mr Bird's version though!

Re: new here
Let me guess then,------ you coughed at an auction and found you had bid on a Minor instead of that Mercedes.
Re: new here
took her indoors out and about to look for a new bathroom,spotted a garage full of e types,morgans,classic minis etc, at the back of the showroom was a restored minor for 10 g, i explained to the sales man that i was more interested in a rolling restoration to play with come with me says he.

@mr bird: Rolling resto is more fun than fully restored!
@les: Much more mundane. Went to look at a '55 Austin A50. Was a bit tattier than I wanted but vendor had Max hidden at the back of his showroom awaiting 'prep'. Love at first sight

Re: new here
I agree, restoring is the pleasure with old things. Better to travel than to arrive, as they say. That way there's plenty of challenges and satisfaction in overcoming them. If you're ever asked about the car you can tell a few stories, better than saying ' Yea, some bloke did it, I don't know any more than that mate'

Re: new here
"Accidentally bought a Morris Minor" eh?
I took the wife with me to view our one and only Doris, "oh shes lovely" that was that.

Re: new here
Quite a tidy-looking car. Looks like you're possibly W.Mids area so will keep a lookout for you!

Looks a nice little project and you can easily reinstate those trafficators and get rid of those modern things on the front ! (lol). Keep the piccies coming but don't use photo bucket !

They're pretty good there. Mike is the resident Minor guru, but he only works part-time
