Traveller Woodwork - my mother's love affair with her Morris
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 11:18 pm
Dear All,
I'm sorry to bother you, but I hope that you can help me please. My mother coveted a Morris Minor for many years and to her delight, she managed to buy a traveller a few years ago.
She loves it unbelievably, but unfortunately, the woodwork has never been properly looked after and is starting to rot. The only solution, of course, is to replace it, but after having it assessed at a Morris 'hospital', she has been told it will cost £5,000 at least to do.
I wish that I had the money to pay for it to be fixed, but I have literally only just finished university and with the repairs being so expensive, my father is threatening to sell it.
My mum has invested a lot of money and love already into the car and i'm worried it would break her heart to have to sell it. Thus I have come to you to ask whether you know of anywhere that would carry out the repairs less expensively. I know that I have not given you much information about the nature of the problem but I could find that out easily enough. I would be eternally grateful and forever indebted to you if you would advise me on what to do.
Thank you,
TNK
