Normally I just get asked if i'm "going to do it up".
Usually that gets asked after I've spent months getting it mechanically sound and roadworthy :roll:

I must admit that I do like Minors that although they may look a bit shabby, are mechanically and structurally sound, and subtlely modified, i.e a wolf in sheeps clothing :wink:

Just go into any newsagents and look around, you will see dozens of magazines devoted to VWs, plenty of Ford mags, Japanese car mags, etc..

Do you see anything to do with Morris?...

...Very rarely


This is something that I think needs to be addresses, the car needs more publicity in order to gain more following.

Just to make it clear I'm not having a go at any body producing the magazines, I think they are doing a great job, I just feel that they need more publicity.
Now I'll sit down and think of ways in which it can be achieved :roll:

Is a set of Wolseley 1500 brakes subtle enough for you? If so you must love Lintilla, who is getting gradually more solid and shabbier-looking by the day. :D

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.
