The odd one out? The Traveller - it's the only one that, during its production run, did not utilise a Minor Saloon rear bumper valance... I don't expect that's what you were thinking of though

The Traveller? 'cause it's got a wooden section?

Snap! BigG!

Hee hee - but my fact's more obscure than yours!

Post by **Cam** » Sat Dec 03, 2005 7:56 pm

And confusing if taken literally.

Would you like to explain yourself?

That's easy - The Citroen 2CV (produced in Slough 1953-1959) used a Morris Minor rear bumper valance as a front bumper, with cut down over-riders - or according to Jon Pressnell, it did, anyway

I did not know that! I wonder why? I would imagine Morris parts would be a lot more expensive than 2CV parts! Hmmm... Not 100% sure I'd agree with that (urban leg-end?

), but if it's true it's true!

Mr Pessnell does seem to have put a fair few errors in his book though, like the infamous stretched Minor "from The Borrowers"...

Yes, that's what I was thinking...

Ignoring the family friendliness of the board, has anyone seen The Feebles? Every car is a Minor, including the limo

Not sure if they're models/ special effects, or real cars for the most part though.

Never seen the Feebles. It's the Borrowers we are on about where every small car is a Minor and the stretched limo is an Oxford MO. I think the removal van might be a Morris too.

Never seen the Borrowers, just the posts reminded me of the Feebles (Minor wise, not genre wise!). Think adult Muppets, directed by Mr Lord Of The Rings. Probably a similar set up car wise though

Oh yes I know OF the Feebles, I have just never seen it though. Yet another film on my 'to watch' list!
