Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi
For my dad's 50th I got an old broken minor speedo and turned it into a clock. I have other Speedos to do
This too and was wondering if anyone here was interested in this unique item. You can see my dad's one in the
Picture.

Cheers

As a clock collector, ive got approx 50 mantle clocks ,20 wallclocks and 3 grandfather clocks plus a convertible minor , i like the idea , its a nice touch and a novelty gift for any minor owner as long as the speedo,s you use are definately beyond repair and likewise the clock that was once sitting in the case, i want one

Yeah Speedo was bought of eBay broken and I put a quartz clock mechanisms where the mechanical drive housing was and the clock housing is custom built by my dad as he is a joiner. Here's a lorry one I made for someone else.[frame][/frame]

Ah rite i see i was wondering because all clock movements can be different diameters from make to make so that answers my query, so what would you be chargeing for a minor one out of curiosity?

I have just started to make them. I would be looking for about £40 +pp but price ain't set in stone
Time scale would be hard to establish as I can't tell when a broken speedo will appear

Paul

well thats not a bad price but as you state, its as and when you can get hold of a speedo thats beyond repair to use , still want one though

Sent you pm

Thanks, pm returned

Those will make nice presents

You'll always know you have a spare fuel guage

They would make great presents and that's why I made one for my dad

It's an old wood veneer that my dad has not sure what kind tho

I'd say the first was a Birds eye maple and the second Sapele

Sounds familiar. Does anyone have any broken Speedos with the faces and chrome in fair condition and wants rid of them?

Fantastic. Could be a nice little business for you because I would definitely buy one!!!

Only problem is sourcing some Speedos to use.

Just asked my dad and the second clock is walnut
