Hello everyone greeting's all.
It's lovely to meet you all. I'm very new to the site and owners club of sorts, so please bare with me. My name is Faye and live in Norfolk. I'm 23 years old and very new to the world of classic cars in general. I never really had personally been interested in cars so this new turn of events had surprised me tremendously.

This is my new girl I recently became the owner of a Morris Minor 1961 she doesn't look like much because she has been inside a ship container for nearly 4 years and gathered a lot of dust. I got her for just £800 with the actual licence plate but instead of red interior, she has green. Which I think it looks better. All she needs is welding which my dad is helping me and a new battery which we have and put fresh fuel in it next week after we drain the old fuel. This is what she looks like now. It was really love at first site with this car.
Well, wish me luck with this girl and I appreciate any advice from experience restoration projects owners. Like the best 'people' to chrome her. Which I planned to do. I just can't believe she's been neglected like this for over 4 years She will be worth the hard work.
Check this out, I was only looking for classic cars only a few weeks ago after a kite fair my dad introduced me to the good ol' console with the one bench seat. And the mini Austin, the Traveller ect. But I really fell in love with the Morris Minor. My dad is a Heavy goods mechanic went into work the next day, found this charming thing sitting on it's own at the back
of his work place! It was like it was meant to be.
