Adwell classic car show today spotted a couple of minors ,we followed one into the show and parked alongside. Its reg number confused me until the owner showed its back story. Also its appearance in borrowers

I vaguely remember the “Borrowers” or may be confusing it with a similar movie involving mice in a derelict mansion. Wasn’t every vehicle in the movie a Morris of some model including a stretch limo Minor?

Were British Heritage body shells available for the Minor? 80£ sounds very cheap at any time.

The borrowers were tiny humans not mice. The picture with the car shows lots of minors, There was a limo for sale recently allegedly from the movie but I thought that was an morris oxford?
No idea about price of shell, thats just the newspaper cutting on display with the car.

Mouse Hunt was the american movie also released in Dec ‘97 with a somewhat similar theme.

I saw a black convertible at Tring garden centre yesterday.

The Morris Minor assembled from parts by Jock Pinkerton and his son dates from the 1970s. Only a few years after Morris Minor production ended. I can well imagine that a bodyshell of an obsolete old car and sold to an employee at that time cost only £80.00. You could buy a roadworthy car for that price at the time.
Heritage bodyshells (British Motor Heritage) are a much more recent thing and were never produced for Morris Minors in any case

At East Kirkby Airshow yesterday, only Minor there (which is quite unusual), but we parked next to a 1956 Minx I've seen there in previous years.
This time had a chance to speak with the Owner, who told me he had a Traveller back home, which if I recollect correctly he is the original owner of, but liked to get the convertible Minx out if the weather was good.
He's just received his 50 yr MMOC Badge, being a founder member.
We had quite a chat about Basil's rebuild, back in the 1990s, and some of the things I had discovered since owning him.

This Ford V8 Pilot was interesting; pretty much original, although has an Alternator fitted despite retaining 6v Pos Earth electrical system
Not what I was expecting

Finally, anyone got an idea why a 1942 Austin Mobile Canteen had been fitted with a Emergency Vehicle Bell
Perhaps it's proof that a Cuppa Tea is an essential service for the British Worker.

Who thinks this one is AI or real? It's a genuine registration.
