Towing a Morris Minor

Post by luflorence »

Hey there!

I want to get an old morris minor that hasn't been moved for 13 years out of a garage, does anyone know of any tow garages that could specialise in this type of thing, it has been looked over and is in fairly good condition just a few things need majorly doing i.e brakes etc....?

The car is based in Loughton Essex, IG10 way.

I was wondering if anyone knows of local garages round that way that can repair a morris minor as the car isn't driveable when it has come out of the garage.
It has nearly been a year since i have said to my boyf's grandad that i was going to get the vehicle out, I don't really know who or where to approach

Thanks

There is a local guy in Loughton who restores classics (amongst which mine :D)

I will PM you his details, but I don't know how old he is, he owned my '55 from 1991-99

Well a minor is so simple to work on and local garage could do the job. Im not aware of any morris specialists in that area (but someone might come along and correct me).

Can you not hire a trailer and tow it yourself?
