Restoration

Hi,

My wife has a modified Morris Minor that needs a little care and attention. It is a 1961 convertible that has been modified with a 1300 engine and 5 speed Toyota gearbox. About 4 years ago she seized the engine, and unfortunately it has been languishing in my garage ever since waiting for the opportunity to be sorted out.

I would appreciate some advice on who would be the most appropriate restorer for this type of Minor

Thanks

Is it just the engine needs fixing - or does the whole car need renovation?

The engine needs fixing, but I would like to take the opportunity for a larger restoration, subject to cost.

There's a place in Milton Keynes, which can't be far from you. I used to live in Rushden - are you anywhere near there?

I am very close to Rushden, so MK is not too far
