It Requirs a bit of work but is a runner and i have had a few very enjoyable 'loud' drives around the local area where i live. and it is a very good runner.

So enjoy the pictures and any questions ask away.

Now repeat after me.
Morris minors are the way forward.
Don't ever be told that your life wont be taken other by owning a classic car.
You can never own to many vintage cars.

Now that wasn't hard was it.

Hi Josh.

Do you know if it was always that colour? Just thinking that it doesn't really go with the interior. Then again, with British Leyland and the very last cars - who knows!?

Limeflower exterior would of had a Navy interior. This car is correct as in its Teal Blue exterior with Limeflower interior.....

Looks more like traffy blue to me... But then Im no expert on colours. (I am aware that teal blue goes with limeflower, but I thought it would be lighter - dont know why)

Trafalgar Blue is not as "Bright" as Teal Blue.

Thanks for the comments its actually a fiat colour it says on the tin of paint that came with the car. But it is near enough Traffelger Blue.

First registered in Plymouth by the look of the reg. number. Good old Teal Blue IMHO. My Traveller is Trafalgar Blue and it's not as bright as Teal Blue. Welcome to Traveller World!
