Re: Hundred Pound Minor TP 9995 (SV749)
By Spring ’23, I was ready to call in expert help. Frank had returned to his job in Beijing, and I had been half-heartedly prodding at the car over the winter without getting very far. I just couldn’t work out why the car ran so badly. I had overhauled the carb, changed all the fluids, replaced the ...

Re: Hundred Pound Minor TP 9995 (SV749)
Right, time for a long overdue update. As I had the pleasure of meeting many of you out and about last summer, you will know that TP9995 is back in circulation, and that I am delighted with it. So, what happened? After the car failed miserably to get me to PWP ’22, brother Frank and I decided that a...

Re: OHC Minor fuel taps - how to stop leaking
Ah yes, but then I would have to contend with an SU fuel pump.
Not sure which is worse...

What a cracking car - looks like it means business!
Look forward to further updates. Good to see a black grill shell, as well.

Wanted: oil filler neck/cap for OHC or M-Type
Good evening Minor-Land, Does anybody have an oil filler neck (the one that bolts into the block) for a Cammy Minor or M-Type engine, please? I think the two are interchangeable, but am open to correction. The "Special" is in need of one, as the engine I am building for it is missing the f...

Re: OHC Minor fuel taps - how to stop leaking
Thank you Ian.
Honestly, the number of times I have had this fuel feed in pieces...
Weirdly, it has not given me any trouble over the summer. Could it be the drop in temperature?
I will have another fiddle and report back.

Re: OHC Minor fuel taps - how to stop leaking
Reading through the above, clearly I am not alone... The leaky Enots on my SV scuttle tank Minor has finally got to the point of making the car unusable (read: sodden carpets and wet boots). I slotted one of Mr Annetts' gaskets in earlier in the year (beautiful firm by the way), but the leak has ret...

I also can't resist posting a picture of this gorgeous MG SA. No idea who owns it. If it is yours, please come again - I want to ask you all about it!

Here is Steve Kent's tourer (MM9385). Interestingly, this is the car that set me on this slippery slope, when I first saw it being driven enthusiastically by Nick Williams:
