Apart from the 'guide' books like Ray Newell's 'Original Morris Minor' I don't think so. That's what makes it fun! :wink:

If we had more enthusiasts like you Cam, and many others that use this site, I don't think there would be any need to worry about the future of the MMOC.

Now who's a 'suck-up'? :wink:

Gee guys, you'll get a severe case of gravel rash if you keep this up :D .


Onne, I've found the genuine parts manual invaluble when restoring a MM.
It shows which way round all the bolts go; what sort of washers go where; how parts are assembled in general; types of screws used........
It doesn't help with colours though :-? .
