Well... I went to look at the car today and provided it passes it's MOT tomorrow I'll be bringing her home
There's two patches of rust on her, one is a patch about an inch square underneath the rear o/s door and the other is a small patch in the boot so nothing major. She runs great
The seller took us out and stretched her legs and she purred like a kitten
Loads of history to go with her - she lived 20 years in Spain which must be why she's in such good shape

The car went for an MOT this morning... it failed
Nothing major though
just needs a new flexi brake pipe. The seller is having the pipe replaced but the garage wont have the part until much later today or tomorrow so I have to wait til I can bring her home

The last time I saw so many ????? marks it was on the Joker's suit in Batman.

I did stop during a quick trawl on ebay the other day and look at this car. It looks nice. I remember the registration no. Will this be "No-rris the Morris" Matt?

Have you considered a new line - MMOC slippers?

I was more thinking along the line of gel insoles (with MMOC logo of course)!

Tim wasn't named after his reg number so I think you should carry on the tradition. The new car looks like a Stan to me
