Morris Minor Owners Club

some may or not know the history of these two minors but to have them both at a scottish custom show ....

one had driven 360 miles to the show (andi kyles van ) not my pickup the other has not been seen at a show for over 9 years
sorry i haven't got one of andis van on the show field on the sunday as my camera run out of battery.

the rest well just about the best custom line up for a good few years .........PROUD TO BE CUSTOM .......

So how is the pick up looking?

Was it the new owner who had it at the show?

it was looking very well for its years john the story is that the guy that bought it off robin has had it all this time
he was well minted by the house they went to get it from ....seams it was just a toy..... he had a few high end cars sitting around .
hasn't turned a wheel for 4 years as the coil went on it and he just left it sitting in the garage , only getting it sorted when it went for an mot so he could sell it.

the guy that has got it now was into VWs and had just sold a VW bus ....and was looking for something not VW
found it on e bay but did not know the history of it just liked the look , when he won it he asked his mate to run him down to
pick it up only then did he find out it was an iconic morris minor as his mate was into morris minors ....

had some trouble bringing it up the road to glasgow on friday as the condenser kept giving up,last few miles on the back of a beaver tail .......
but turned up on saturday ...new condenser fitted ...

as fas as the condition it was looking good a few wee bits that need attention but noting to worry about
engine was sounding sweet and the guy was impressed but the turn of speed off it ...
think it will stay the same colour but a few things might change .
looking forward to seeing it around the shows next year ,,,,,,will keep you posted how it all goes

mark.

Thanks for the info. Robin emailed the old owner (the father of the guy who he sold it too) and he has a couple of historic F1 cars plus a Healey 3000. He said it drove well except for the seating position.

It will be good to see it around again ............ just need to get mine out and about more!

I do love that pickup if only id had the space. It was my inspiration, as have been all Beardmore moggies
The show looks to have a very impressive turn out of nice cars, got any more info on it so i can mark it in the calendar for next year?

cheers, Daniel
