Morris Minor Owners Club

After nearly two years work and over 900 hours my Traveller is looking great, I have taken it down to bare metal and replaced loads of panels, every thing has been clean painted and overhauled. I have just fitted the Front Windscreen and re-covered both front seats, and last weekend I fitted the Carpets, now the really hard part, replacing all the wood, I fill like there will be a few sleepless nights coming.[frame][/frame]

brilliant job

beautiful front end, nice deep gloss.

Looking very smart, you may have it in one piece for the summer

Looks well worth the effort Rolly and you will never have to buy another one

That's looking very very nice.

900 hours so far + parts and paint etc. and your still not finished

I did a rough calculation of what that would mean if it was a professional restoration and you can start to understand why really good classic cars cost so much......................

I went over to Witchford nr Ely to see Ian working on one his traveller projects last year,total cost £18,000.00 +vat.
Rang him last month and he is doing another one,same price....mind you customers are paying him for his work.
Would you spend that much on a Morris Minor Traveller.?
If you shop around there are many fantastic unfinished projects out there.
I picked up a Traveller for £1500.00 last November locally,after a little cosmetic work it looked great.I spent a week on it.
It is now on Ace Classic Cars website for...£7895.00.
The previous owner did not know how to finish it off.

Yes , but a weeks work at 45 hours is going to be pushing £2430 at workshop prices + parts @ MLP

Lovely! Superb work there, an excellent job.

Also that must be the tidiest garage ever, just the car, ladders and radio!
