Morris Minor Owners Club

I've now reached a point in life where I'm actually able to get my first classic. I've settled on a Morris Minor and I am actively looking. But, in all honesty, I've never got up close with one and had a good detailed look at them. I hope that doesn't sound too bizarre.
I live in the West Midlands (Stourbridge DY6 / DY8) and I am asking if there is anyone near ish to me that I can look at their Minor and pick their brains and knowledge? I know these are very personal items in our lives, but if you don't ask...!
Thanks in advance.

Cheers to Alec who pointed me to the correct forum!

Do you know which sort you might be interested in yet - 2-door, 4-door, convertible, Traveller, van, pick-up?

2 door or 4 door, I don't mind either. Unleaded head would be my preferred option and maybe even an alternator conversion too.
I'd like to get one I can use from the outset, maintain and slowly improve.
Cheers

Your request doesnt sound strange at all, I was asking exactly the same thing at the end of last year when I made the decision that a moggy was going to be my first classic. It’s a shame you’re not closer to me as you would have been more than welcome to come and meet Nellie - although I’m also a total newbie so wouldn’t have much in the way of brains to pick.

Before I bought Nell, I got in touch with my local MMOC and joined up, then went along to their meeting. I met some really lovely people who were full of advice and a few of them had brought their cars along so I met a few of them too - definitely worth seeing if there is a club in your area, it’s a good place to start and somebody in the club may know of someone who is selling

You can find your local MMOC branch here:

https://branches.mmoc.org.uk/

You would be in Area 10 - West Midlands, but I have just realised a Branch only appears in the list if they have an event scheduled for the month which seems a bit odd. Malvern Hills branch doesn't appear for example, so click on April to see a longer list.

We are in Bromsgrove and have had a 1959 Traveller since 2010. You are welcome to come over and take a look if you want.

I think perhaps you need to define what you mean by 'improve'.
There's no point in buying a 1950s/60s vehicle if what you really want is a 1980s/90s one...

Improve... 'Tickle along nicely'

Thank you for the responses on here.

KeithL in Bromsgrove... I've tried to message you but it appears 'stuck'.
May I take you up on your kind offer?

Please message me.
