I've been wondering this one for a while how long have you all had your mogys and in that time what have you done to them ? I think my dad does better than most people but I wouldn't;t be surprised if I'm wrong

he's had his '53 convertible since he was 21 so that's 33 years during that time hes made it into a convertible and now hes working on fitting some low light wings and front panel, not one for purists.

Our Morris Van has been in the family since 1980 and was my grandads them my mums and now my brother drives it, this has had rear windows put in to aide visibility.

Finally our Traveller has been with us for 18 years and during that time its been fitted with a 1275 Ital engine and overdrive.

So has anyone had one longer? even if you haven't I think it would interesting to see how long people keep morris minors.

I've had mine since May of this year and only done 3500 miles with it, alas, mostly on long trips.[frame]Image[/frame]

I bought mine way back when I was 16, so that makes it 23 years in my ownership.
