Morris Minor Owners Club

Whilst searching the forum for some information about Traveller covers recently, I'm sure I came across a post from a Kent member saying they were about to sell their Traveller, which I think was white.

I didn't pay much attention at the time as I had agreed to buy another one, but it looks like I might have been let down by the seller (the second Trav this has happened to me with!) so unfortunately I'm on the hunt again.

If anyone has any info I'd be grateful!

Thank you

I think this is the car you mean: http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... eller+kent

It was advertised on ebay and the advert was ended on 7th January as the vehicle was no longer available so I guess it was sold.

Ah thank you - yes this was the one.

There are 2/3 really nice Old Engllish White ones on Ebay at the moment, not near you but you will have to expect to travel a bit to get a good Traveller.

Thank you - travelling's not a problem as long as they're within my budget (which is a bit bigger than it was 6 months ago, but still not massive!).

I think you have to decide with a Traveller. You either pay less but expect to do work in the near future or pay to get a good one which you don't need to do anything with for 2/3 years. With a Traveller there's always the maintenance of the wood to consider - keeping the waistrail drainage holes clear and the wood varnished/oiled.

Based on the hunting around I've been doing since I started looking for one last year, I think my budget should get me a reasonable example that only needs minor tlc from the off, with the ongoing maintenance you mention....my trouble is I only want a white/cream one! They're like hens teeth, or so it seems!

Here are a couple
