Is that Morris Minor Million Lilac as I done recall seeing that on a convertible before and it looks really good.

yes it is million lilac, but it is not a million, a former owner just liked the coloured so got it resprayed that colour

It's One-in-a-Million if it's the only Convertible Million - even if it is a look-alike..........

I have to admit i'm not keen on lilac colours. However the Million minor does look good. As for that convertible, I really really like it!!! Has it got the cream interior?

no it has a one off interior, which to quote roy's earlier comment is One-in-a-million, that i made myself.. unless someone is going to tell me otherwise :)

Hi I have done two in mine one Sept 08 and one in April 2010. I have also been asked if I could do one in April next year. I have informed my insurance of doing these weddings and i have been allowed to do six in a 12month for an extra £30.

I don't make a charge for my services but say to interested parties that they put a donation into an envelope for my chosen charity. (This years is British Heart Foundation). this way I enjoy driving my Morris the Wedding party are happy and my charity are happy.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

There was a convertible at the Essex branch rally a couple of weeks ago which had been restored with million lilac paintwork and the correct million interior, purely because the owner liked the colour, so that might be the one.

Hi there. I just noticed the badge on the grill. Is that a South Wales Branch Badge?

I think it is Ray. I'm sure I remember Charlie mentioning that he used to live down this way and be a South Wales Branch member.

Good I thought that I wasn't seeing things. It's great to still see branch badges being used. I took my one off as it didn't quiet go with the type of vehicle. Although Iam not ashamed of our branch and will advertise it in other ways.
Good to see a great line up of cars at Raglan in Minor Matters. (Twice)

Did you know that Ken lost his wife at the begining of the New Year?

Your Welcome to come and pop in to see us at any time.
Santa.

yes, I popped over to see Ken when I was down in March.. very sad.

on to happier things.. thanks for the invite Ken asks me to come down every time we are down but we always seem to have just missed a meeting or going back just before one.

I did try to arrange to come down for your recent (maybe not so recent) saturday run to drive my dads MO with you but did not make it.. for some reason

Glad to hear that your still in touch with us then. you missed another good run last Sunday. It is now hopped that we have been able to get the branch out and about this year that there's another on in September. But before then, we have the welcoming party for the Wilt's branch 5 Capitols run on the 24th July.
Mat (MColes) and myself were talking of organising a Branch rally for next year. but we need to put this to our branch chairman on Wednesday night at our AGM.
