Morris Minor Owners Club

In Cyprus old cars just get abandoned in fields and by the roadside. I have seen lots of restorable abandoned Moggies as well as wrecks good for taking off parts. The Cypriots now drive around in BMWs and Mercedes and Honda HRVs.

i see lots out there in 1992 but most are in mine fields that is why they are there and no one is touching them.

There are compounds full of deteriorating cars from 1974 on the SBAs
Well there were when I was last out there

thing is tho even if you ship one over it would cost a fortune wouldent it?

I know from the shipping costs for a driving car, from the states to here, is about 900 Euro, but when he is not driving he should go in a more expensive container.

How many could you fit in a container?
That would bring the price per unit down.

When it is a tourer, roofs down, and a second one upside down in the container...
The problem is a container is about 6 meter, a moggy is 3,40 meter.
Or take a 9 meter container, put 2 moggy's in there, and fill it with a number 3 (or 4) in parts
Maybe a special transport frame, and the wheels from the moggy taken off?
I should say, take a few 1:10 models, make a 1 : 10 model of a container, and try how to get it in there.

But partial dismantling will help for sure, we are doing the same when we are transporting a big machine overseas.
Some small parts of iron to secure the machine in a corner, and a part of wood to avoid damage will help.

I know from companies who are putting machines in containers with help from a lot of grease, to move the iron frame in the container.

4 pick ups in a 9 meter container, hmmm
