Morris Minor Owners Club

I'm in Florida.
As I was filling up with gas (petrol), a gentleman admiring my 64 Saloon said there was a movie made in the 60's in which there was a town where ALL the cars were Minors.
Does anybody know of such a film? I have to watch it.

Unaware of a 1960s film but The Borrowers (1997) featured a village full of Minors.

Googled and Youtubed , There are plenty of publicity and documentary films of minors in 1960's Britain but not one that meets the description you have given. Mind you I would have like to have lived in such a place !

IMCdb isn't much help either

I'd sooner live in 'Borrowers land' with multiple Minors than in Privet Drive (Harry Potter first film). Identical houses each with a Vauxhall Vectra on the driveway!

It must be the borrowers he was thinking of. Did anyone lend a car for the filming ?

Some more with strange VRM's. Apparently fixed in Theale in Berkshire

and RHD but driving on the right

And yet more. This site looks interesting for a list of films. http://www.minormania.com/minormania/fe ... &catid=754

I did feel sorry for this traveller, It lookalike the NS trunnions are about to fail...

I always fancied the Leyland / BMC van used in the Borrowers (green one in the pics) Not even sure what model it is - must be mega rare...

I think I remember them being used in Harrods shade of Green for Pickfords in the 60"s

They were the BMC (later Leyland) "EA" series. On the one in The Borrowers film they re-positioned the bonnet lettering so that it read DELLANY instead of LEYLAND Did you find any pictures of the Morris Minor van that was also used?

He's right about the Leyland Van and here's a couple of the Exterminator's Morris LCV

Place I worked at in the late '70s used to repair EA vans on behalf of Royal Mail. Post Office mechanics habitually referred to them as "Jumbo's"

I certainly never spotted the Dellany badge Ok so its am EA. Still can't remember seeing one on the preservation scene...

I don't recall seeing any on the road subsequent to Royal Mail disposing of theirs. Described elsewhere on the www as '1969-1975. Short-lived and unsuccessful'. Close to where I lived in south London there was (certainly until a year ago) a complete but very rotten one parked alongside a bungalow with a few derelict caravans for company.

If you fancy seeing a minor or two The Borrowers is on this afternoon
