Hello everybody,
I bought the car, SMM 139436, in 1993, started the restoration a year later, and now, just 20 years later, its
almost finished....
I will start with some random pictures and in the next few weeks/months/years I hope to post more photos, restoration 'text' and (still) a lot of questions...
Greetings from Holland/Belgium,
Michiel Brouwer

1993
Bought the car in England and imported it to Holland. A brake not working properly, no remote brake fluid reservoir and some other small things not ok. After a week it was fixed and the car ( Herbie ), became a dutch licence plate; DH-75-53.
We (me and my dad) drove the car for one year and then we started a long Morris Minor Discovery Project
1994
