Irish built Minors

I dropped in to work last week and met up with an old pal called Amy. We started flying 757s at the same time so we've known each other for maybe 20 years. She saw my car in the car park and it triggered her to mention that her family were the owners of 'Brittains' Morris Minors. Does anyone have any photos that I could send her? All of the family info got lost years ago and all her relatives are a bit past it with regards to recollections.

Thanks

Rob

Im fairly certain there was some pics on facebook lately of the factory in Dublin, Ill see if I can find them again.

My blue minor is an Irish built CKD, there are still a few around!

I saw Amy again and she thinks she might be able to find a few BOXES of documents left over from the factory. Looking like it might be good news. :D

Chris I have far more things on mind to worry about than numbers for you, something that I have done for over 20 years but as always you still want more. My wife starts intensive chemo & radiotherapy next week so I no inclination to assist you any further
