Morris Minor Owners Club

Not on DVLA tax checker

Smart dark green convertible with light hood on A259 to Bognor, near main A27 Chichester roundabout. 1/6/17 at approx 10.15 am.

No Minors out and about in Kidderminster today. Supermarket car-park revealed a pretty rare 1973/4 Triumph 2000 Mk.2 estate car. Dark blue. Black vinyl roof and roll-back sun-roof. Light blue interior. Less than 38,000 miles on the clock.

Ooooooohhh, that Triumph is nice

Today in Wolverley area. Black pick-up with woody back RNP*F. Gave me a headlight flash. Didn't get time to respond!

About a dozen MGBs heading towards Bridgnorth on the A442 as well... and a solitary MGA heading in the other direction!

The grey one looks like its on ebay now. Item no. 222539306690

Seats are wonderful, doors rough but rear wings look ok as does the boot. He is honest about the floorpan but depending on the reserve it would be a good project.

This evening at 8.55 p.m. as I went to lock the church, I saw a nice pale blue convertible (AAM121B, I think) come down Hurstbourne Hill driven by a young man with a beard, and as he passed the "George & Dragon" I stood to attention and saluted and got a wave in return. He must be well north of Newbury by now.

Saw a lovely dark blue J reg traveller at my local shopping centre in Surrey Quays/Canada water yesterday, SE London. Would love to know if there was another fan locally!

Its lucky to still have its wheels in SE. Saw a nice mustard coloured traveller in a driveway in Trumpington yesterday.

Dark Coloured SII 4 door in a photo at the beginning of a 'Key Retirement' advert on telly. Allegedly in Lancashire. VRM not visible.

The Limeflower traveller in Trumpington is currently for sale. I thought it would've sold by now as they put it up for sale a month or two ago.

Didn't see a for sale sign on it, is it on line anywhere ?

Not that I know of. The last few times I've driven by it's had a for sale sign with a contact number

Spotted today in Bath - J reg and had all the appearance of a daily user. Lower Bristol Road appears to be a rich source of interesting cars in daily use, this isn't the first Moggy i've seen, and earlier this week a G reg Volvo, last week a F reg Spitfire, none concourse. Good to see so many in regular use.

Probably on a pilgrimage to where CW used to be ! I see the traffic hasn't improved there despite the lack of minors parked on the road and on the kerb.

Saw a well used black, 948 LCV van (modern front lights tho') in Goodge Street WC1 today- RVS 947. It has been in the area for many years.

Once again today, Kidderminster was disappointingly Minor-free. Instead, on the ring-road, a pair of V12 Jaguar E-types. Both 2+2. One red. One maroon.

Then, in the town centre, a Minor relation in the shape of a very nice shiny Maroon Wolseley 1500 Mk.II. Re-registered OSL***

Finally, in the lay-by where Nicky's snack-bar can be found on the Bridgnorth Road, a Volvo Duett station wagon as pictured below.

Lovely Minor Panda Car in 'Endeavour' tonight. It drove away and sounded very sweet. No index visible.

VERY unusual sighting.

Saudi Arabia. Jeddah to Yanbu road, heading south.

White four-door 1000 on a trailer.

Opposite carriageway, so no time for a close look or picture. Saudi plate.

Only the second mog I've seen in Saudi in 40 years. The last was a green traveller in 1978.

A few about in Dubai, where they are seriously into cars.

Probably some rich guys collection. Looked mint, but strangely no cover. Blown sand on that road eats your paint.

Artistic licence! Endeavour is set in Oxford, and although we all know that the Morris Minor came from there, and might have been a logical choice, Oxford Police used Mk1 Ford Escorts as their Panda Cars in the late 1960s. They also had a few Lotus Cortinas for when a bit more speed was needed

As an aside, the Morris Motors Museum - in Long Hanborough near Oxford and well worth a visit - contains an original (ex Met Police I think) Minor Panda Car along with a good deal of interesting exhibits.
