Expect the passenger seat will host all political views over the next few weeks. Don't think that Sebastian has ms le pen scheduled in though!
Glad people like the car. I told her that she needed to work harder for her living.

Knocks mine into a cocked hat! Can't see my reflection in green and maroon paint.

That doesn't look much like a Morris Traveller

Can't think of any politician I'd want in my car. I would consider it a holy place desecrated.

TDV102. Absolutely agree, if fact with certain of them, I would need Rentokil in afterwards.

It's a rotten job, but someone has to do it.

tu parles! it's the Bert Brett Special (but only long-time Minorists will understand that)
Here's the back end on a sunny day, with Jedi, then a wannabee guide dog & his friend Edward:

He says 'what mullet?', and no, no moustache but the hair is still hippy

I was refering to the car the politician is sitting in Mary, not your splendid Traveller

Seems that the car's off to Bath tomorrow. Must be a marginal constituency there?

Next week she's off to Middlesbrough. Might cheer them up as their football club has just been relegated?

Hello I was wandering if anyone could help. My mum is 50 on June the 9th. Her favourite car is the Morris minor,
it's her dream to go in one. I am having trouble finding one that we can use for a few hours. Ones I have found are £200/300 to hire. There's no way I can afford that for her,but am desperate to have her ride in one. I live in Barnstaple north Devon, Does anyone live in my area that for a price could take my mum,dad and myself out. Even if it's just for a couple hours, go for a cream tea and then home again. It would make her day so special. Fingers are crossed.

Well, job done after a few thousand trouble free miles. Then broke down on her way to the agreed pre return service. A couple of dead spark plugs. Proud of her.

Trav is now back home; safe,serviced and with a new MOT. It's been fun following her adventures.
