Morris Minor Owners Club

White convertible going Westbound on the A30 near Bagshot at 15:03 today.
Sorry, the sun was so bright, the car looks over exposed.
Looks to be a transitional Series III with uprated wheels. Image lifted from by Nextbase Dashcam and enlarged. Original full image below This part of the A30 is a 40mph zone.

Spotted on Chasing Classic Cars

Nice looking maroon saloon parked up on Tangmere road near the junction with Drayton Lane Chichester West Sussex.
Pass this everyday on my way home, looks like someone moved in nearby recently and nowhere to park the car which is parked on verge?
Really sad to see the other day when we had lots of rain and there was a huge puddle nearby, every time a vehicle went passed a huge wall of water went over the poor thing....!
Hope the owner gets some proper storage soon, sad to see as it’s a nice looking car.

In tonight's episode of BBC 1's 'A Suitable Boy', set in the early 1950's, there was a fleeting glance of a white Moggy convertible and a bit more coverage of a two-tone Morris Oxford MO (my dad had one) and a Morris 8 Series E (my dad's first car).

........Don't ask me what the story's about - too busy looking out for 'classic cars'.

Spotted today behind gates along the riverside in St Neots....

Looks like it’s been standing for a while... The lawn’s been mowed around it and there’s a sapling growing

I've checked and its on a SORN with last V5c issued in 2013...

Spotted this afternoon, a working Pick-Up, non-standard colours and alloy wheels, heading East on the A30 between Bagshot and Sunningdale. This is a blown-up still taken from my dashcam footage.

Don't know my knee from my elbow - the pick-up was heading WEST. Not seen again.

Looks a very characterful old work horse!

We lived near Matlock for many years and there’s lots of classics live and visit there. A great place is Matlock and the area around.

I went for a walk in the Peak District today (before we're all in lockdown again ) and spotted a very nice red Rover P2 (didn't realise they were available in that colour??) while heading out for my walk driving through Matlock, Derbyshire.
This was closely followed by a Rose Taupe Minor Traveller with a Union Jack painted on the roof over the rear half, it seemed to be heading towards the Sainsbury's supermarket near the train station in Matlock.
On the way back I spotted the red Rover P2 again, coming back the other way, nice to see this looks to be in regular use.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Got to be the same one I saw a few years ago in Frodsham

It does look like it. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me and I was driving anyway.
Best wishes,

Saw a blue traveller sporting a roof rack today in Bury Lancs heading towards Pilsworth Ind est.
Looked lovely and was pulling very well up the hill from Manchester Road.

The other day , just popped to Morrisons and what was next to me...
Silver Polo..

spotted a 'well used' 2 door saloon in Portsmouth on saturday,with a lady driver

Courtesy of Sky, the trailer for "To Olivia" (film about Roald Dahl and Patricia Neal on Sky Cinema) shows a Morris Convertible on the left hand side (with a mini in the distance). The film is set in 1962 - around the time my Morris Minor was registered. Not sure of the model in the picture, and couldn't catch the registration number, although I understand that films use year-specific unused registration numbers.

Used to be the case with 'fake plates' on both film and TV, but I've done some spot checks on period registrations while watching stuff on TV and it seems that more recent productions are often genuine.

As to the image upload, I'm afraid the site is playing up yet again. I just tried to upload an image that I uploaded a week ago and it won't load.
