Just a quick introduction. I guess I could be considered to be a bit enthusiastic, I have joined the owner club, and this forum in anticipation of being a Morris Minor owner
So as a way of introduction, I am an electro mechanical design engineer/inventor, about to semi retire. I am trying to create an affordable retirement, and one area to be considered is my transport.... Currently I drive a Merc, that requires a mechanic and a computer for everything. If someone looks at my car 'in a funny way', there will be a warning light pop up on the dashboard, and another trip to the dealer....
As a child, I remember helping my dad through a series of minis, a couple of escorts, a couple of fiestas. Later in life I had a couple of Saabs and a kit car based around the running gear of a 1971 Mexico. Also a Hillman and a Chrysler Avenger
So I am thinking that a Minor van would have plenty of room for my dog, I tend to like solitude, so a single passenger seat would be fine, and the fact I can repair and maintain it myself is also an attractive point.
However, I do like my comfort, so I am glad to see that there is a 5 speed box conversion, I can also get Aircon and even cruise control fitted. All of that coupled with disc brakes and Bluetooth seems to appeal to my Idea of using this as my daily driver....
I keep saying Van, buying guess a traveller would also work .
I am glad to be here, and starting my Moggy journey here as well.
