Morris Minor Owners Club

Back in the day many of our minors would have been kept on the road in ways the owners could afford, even if it meant adapting none original parts. I can remember many happy hours when you could wander around scrap yards unbolting bits.
These days some of us modify for comfort, safety or performance or purchase cars with mods.
Mine has:
Disc brakes and servo
Inertia reel seat belts
Hazard flasher and rear orange flasher lamps
Fog light and reversing light
Door mirrors
Oil pressure and temperature gauges
Later elephants trunk heater
Alternator and master switch
Electric screen washer
Unleaded cylinder head
Electronic ignition
Spin on oil filter
Every time I read someone's list I think oh yes and that edit 3 so far

What's on your minor

The roof paint is original and factory applied.
