Hello and advice required for Luton based Morris returnee

Post by ScottP »

Hello all.

I'm coming back to morris owning after nearly 40 year interval, dalliance with Beetles (I know, I know) and life generally and loving it so far. I need to get the rear doors replaced on my '70 traveller and a strip of the guttering replaced too (it's missing at the minute).

Ive googled it to death and trawled the forum for somewhere that could help local to me in the Luton/Bedfordshire area but I keep going around in circles. The guttering is probably most pressing so does anyone know who could help me out. Do you think a regular bodyshop would be up to it?

Thanks for your help and apologies for a tedious first post on a well worn topic..

I know a couple in Cambridgeshire.

Quest Brothers in St Ives did a good job with my Minor. Ian Allen of Minor Services is in Ely but with a long waiting list.

Thanks for that. I didn't realise the guttering was such a pain of a job. ...

I think the travellers are a little more complex!
