Here's a pic of one happy sixteen year old (my son James) at the wheel of his 1971 Moggy !
his brothers sat in the back busy on facebook...... (parents with teenagers will understand !)
great car ! - many thanks to "irmsher" for selling the car and all his help
Jame's had a quote from Footman James whilst at the Classic Car show Shepton Mallet and will be joining the owners club very soon.
he is planning a few mods ( a "banging stereo" and for some reason a roof rack ???) none of which should hopefully detract from the minors good looks .....
all he has to do now is pass his test !
cheers

If he isn't already there, you could point James in the direction of the Young Members facebook group.
http://www.facebook.com/groups/MMOCYM
It's where all us young folk hang out

Avoid the roof rack - it will cost him 2 MPG...... and Minors aren't that good on MPG at the best of times......

Hi Matt - I've just done the same for my 16 year old, Jack - yours looks clean and ready to go (ours still needs some work). Just out of interest, what was the insurance quote?
Where are you based?
Mark & Jack

Don't be tempted to put a roofrack on your nice new car!
I'm paying the price of a previous owner doing this. All the guttering has had to be replaced on my Traveller as the mounts for the rack had distorted the guttering and rusted it through
