Morris Minor Owners Club

Looks lovely,and Austin badged, but if you want to see the best proper Austin pickup ever, check out the A30/35. Like rocking horse poo now, enthusiasts are importing restoration projects from South America!

Spotted a 55 in town last Thursday - not a Minor but a 1955 Mercedes 300 SL Gullwing! Million pound car.

Cute and quirky but I suppose impractical as a working vehicle... no drop-down tail-board. Perhaps not surprising so few made but I'd still have one if I could!

You can't see it well but if you magnify the Uttlesford outing pics it does have a drop down tail board with Austin logo across it and a superb canvas cover.

More today... Grantchester on ITV this eve:
Maroon Traveller 486UXR (a regular on the box these days... think its an early cheesegrater one).
Also a Sandy Beige S.II facelifted saloon.

Nice looking Maroon Morris Traveller in 'Grantchester' tonight. Could not see the VRM. Ah second sighting 466UXR

And a very shiny beige split screen 2 door WKL150

I had never noticed before today but they are in loads of episodes of Grantchester

http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_752514-Mor ... -1964.html Can't see VRM but looks post 1963

Spotted in this film about development in the 1960's in Cambridge . Parked Morris Minor convertible UER280 (Cambridge Registration) and many more Saloons Travellers and LCV's. Shows just how widespread the Minor was

What did happen to Cambridge City centre?

They built a damn great car park and wondered why there were too many cars !!!! Now it is so expensive to park there for the day, everyone gets the bus. The centre is rather nice now except for all the s**ding tourists !

I saw a nice two door black saloon in Thame this afternoon.

Not a Moggie but a competitor in its day... a Standard Pennant in two-tone grey and blue. Seen on Kidderminster ring-road making good headway. Reg. No. WLT*** was unusual as most of that batch (encapsulating WLT301 to WLT999) was allocated to London Transport who used them all on Routemaster buses delivered during 1960/61.

I saw a few Morris Minors today at the Hyde Heath village fete and classic car show.

Clearly not many Moggies around Kidderminster but ring-road provides frequent sightings of other rarities. This morning's offering was VPJ***M a white Vanden Plas Princess 1300 looking very nice.

After yesterday's sighting... another from the ADO16 range today in Kidderminster. URV***K an Austin 1100 Mk.3 two-door in Harvest Gold.... and then on a driveway near Rowley Regis, a maroon Moggie 1000 2-door

well i've been to Kiddy today and didn't see anything interesting apart from a BSA shop.

Another Moggie this morning splashing through the puddles near Wolverley Lock.... white Traveller TJN***H (?), looking pretty tidy

I saw two this morning a black saloon near Aylesbury and a traveller broken down on the A41 bypass on the way to Aylesbury.

Did you stop ? Seen today on an episode of the Persuaders - (mid 1970's), a light blue 2 door and an ex post office (red) van. in Brighton near the railway station.

Spotted on Saturday, about 30 minors at David Manners Group open day. Good company, friendly helpful staff excellent coffee and a band. Weather rotten tho.
