Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi all, do you think 400 quid for a running and not too rusted 71 registered saloon is too steep? I wanted to buy it for parts really, but it seems quite reasonable except for surface bodywork rust...

But there are a lot of parts I need on it...

Decisions decisions...!

You should not be breaking perfectly good cars for spares, either find one that is beyond repair or buy new parts

It seems a shame to break a good car. Are spares in such short supply?

Yes, you are probably right...

Parts are still plentiful. Good restorable cars less so.

A reasonable car should really not be broken now.

agreed!

"Parts are still plentiful. Good restorable cars less so.

Yes, let's save all the reasonable restorable cars!

I have decided to go ahead and by this car and try and restore my first moggy... wish me luck, when I get it I'll start a restoration thread... which might be going for several years ha ha..

I used an angle grinder for the first time yesterday, and a welder for the first time last week...

So maybe several decades!

Don't forget if you have any questions we're here!

Thanks, I'm sure I will - everybody has been so helpful already on here!

snap it up, i paid £400 for mine and it wasn't even running!
