3 alternators!

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!

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"...

Posted: **Sat Dec 03, 2005 9:20 pm**

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.

Oh no! Dynamo's are losing! alternators have charged up on the mighty dynamo.... wait until the pitstop, then we'll get you!

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!

The charging question, what do you have?
