Morris Minor Owners Club

There are 3 classes to the Custom and Modified Register, they are:-

Heritage Modified Class - This is for fairly standard cars but have upgrades IE brakes, engine, etc. from during the production run of the Minor (IE 1948 to 1971). For example a Midget engine and Wolseley 9" drums.

Sport Modified Class - This is pretty much the same as the Heritage class apart from the modifications can use the brakes, engine. etc. of non-production run. For example Crossflow engine with a type 9 gearbox and Ford disc brakes.

Custom Class - This is basically anything goes! The only real stipulations in this class are that it is still recognisable as a Minor and is still valid for Historic Vehicle status by the DVLA.

I hope this helps break down each class. If, however, you are still unsure as to the class your car may be in then post your questions and I'll try to help.

Blimey, what a list Sports Modified Class

Lee, Haven't finished yet have a 940 head to go on and then want a 1 1/2" exhaust system. Think I will put it on a rolling road then.

We could then have a competition to guess the BHP.

Still Sports Heritage Class

Well I'm game Pete. Any starting bids?

Has to be a worthwhile prize for the winner.

Pete

Honda Accord front and rear seats

How much effort were these to fit? Especially the rear seats.

Also what model Accord? They semed to change every two weeks in the 80's

Sounds like I'm looking at low end Sports modified when I get done
but this could take a few years

Get a roof rack and it will be 'Surfing Sports Modified'

Pete

Paul,
The seats were from a Honda Accord Aerodeck 4W ALB EX2.0 "F" reg. I took the complete rear seats to a car trimmer and he fitted seat back to original Moggy board and he reworked the squab to fit. Had to put a couple of pieces of foam under squab to pack it up a bit due to no spring interior, as in old seat. Modern cars have the seat moulded to the shape of the floor.

Pete, A prize would call for an entry fee.

*in a small voice*

what class will my van be in (when restoration finished)?

disc brakes on front - servo etc
alternator
halogen headlights
unleaded head
otherwise mechanically pretty well original
revamped upholstery ie soft southerner carpets and seat covers
main mod: slightly daft paint job

anyone?

aiiii..... but not yet decided about the oil filter mod, tediously it might have to wait till "Phase II", ie till i can save up the pennies got to do the essentials first, viz brakes n stuff

Hi Dan,

Jules
