Morris Minor Owners Club

This is my first Morris Minnor, she's called Precious

She goes so I'm not sure if she's actually counted as a restoration in which case I'm sorry but I just had to show her off and ask a couple of questions too.

Is this her first colour? I'm really not sure cause the metal in the inside of the car is also this car.[frame][/frame]

Try Gascoyne grey with a beige interior/brown piping and brown carpet - Oct '51 - June '52

Shame it's lost it's side valve.... but who cares, you have one nice motor!

Are those bell-shaped red things the horns? Now I've seen everything!

You have a beautiful car, Precious! Or rather Precious is a beautiful car. Do you mind if I ask where you're from? I can't identify that license plate. It's fine, of course, if you don't want to say; there are lots of folks on the 'board who don't.

Just another question:

I'm really not sure cause the metal in the inside of the car is also this car.

What exactly does that mean? I can't for the life of me figure out how that works grammatically.

Happy motoring and exploring in Precious!

Oh oops silly me. What I was trying to say that the metal parts on the inside of the car are the same colour as the outside of the car.

Yes they are air horns (that I didn't put in myself lol) they don't play a tune of such but my god they are loud. Which isn't very nice when your doing a tight turn and hit the horn by mistake.

I live in Tasmania, Australia so lots of lovely country roads to take her out on.






So there's a couple of things I wanna do/fix.

The first one is the switch for the indecators is on the top of the dash board and at the moment there is just a bolt sticking out of the switch. I was wondering what sort of swith would it had in the day? I want to keep as much of the car as true as possiable.

Would it be out of place if I was going to put a stearign wheel mounted switch in her?

Also I was wondering if anyone out there knows how to hook up the semaphores on my car?

Cheers muchly

great looking car i am fixing up a mm series low light up on queensland.

That is a lovely car you have there. Very nice. I like the colour. The nice weather you have over there must help preserve the bodywork.

By the way, what engine is fitted to it?? I understand in Australia, the use of Nissan and Toyota engines is quite a common modification.

It's now fitted with a 120y motor

My first guess was a shade of grey, white will help reflect the sun and is a better choice for where you live.
Some kind of solar window film might be a good plan too.
It looks a really tidy usable car.
