Morris Minor Owners Club

Always make it a double.

One to plug in your tools

The other for the kettle or radio.

Yes, while you're at it, why not add a generator, MIG-welder and angle-grinder to the list, just in case you should need to partially rebuild the thing at the side of the road!

Compressor and spray gun too.....to keep it tidy looking...

Well, thanks you all for your replies - I think that the idea of a trailer is probably a good one, judging by the ever growing list of things to take!!

Things have changed slightly - we'll be going to our house in the Lot region of France (about 550 miles drive from Calais) where we'll be based for 3 months. We'll also be taking a motorhome with us, so it will be a drive through France in convoy. I've looked into towing A-frames: the law is unclear Europe wide, so don't want to take the risk - plus it would appear that fitting may be a problem as well, as the Morris doesn't have "homoligated front crash bars" to fit the A-frame brackets to I've also looked into a car transporter trailer: seems very expensive, and wouldn't get used often enough to justify the outlay, unfortunately.

I think the best plan is to go in convoy, with a decent set of tools / spares in the motorhome, plus this would mean that overnight stopping wouldn't be too much of an issue.

You need the LWB van http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54368

Perfick

There's a couple of cheap moggies going on ebay at the moment, tow a spare!

Apart from bulbs, points and a known condensor (all of which you can sling in the glove box) your mobile phone and the number of a good, knowledgeable friend is all you really need. Leave the trailer, welding gear, rollover cage, spare car etc at home. But don't forget the factor 50,

Yet another change!!! I bought a trailer in the week, so the Moggie will be trailered in a pampered and molly-coddled way all the way there and back.

Will be compiling a list of spares to take, so thanks for all of the input - definitely very useful!
