Restoration Advice

Post by XAM 795 »

Hi,
I have just inherited a 1960 Morris Minor 1000. It has been in my family from brand new, although sadly it needs a lot of TLC.
My Father started restoring but tragically passed away in 2004 and the Minor has sat in his garage ever since. My Mother has now passed it on to me and I wish to fully restore it to its former glory.
So that is the basic story and as a novice owner I need sound advice on where to get the bodywork and interior fully restored, preferrably in S E England. My husbad and Brotherin law are fine with the mechanics.
So if anybody could recommend a restorer I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you
Janette
