Vintage Minor Register

I'm just putting something together for the next magazine on total Minor production. Looking at the data, we have 34,599 OHC Minors and 47,266 SV Minors. However, there were approximately 500 Y-chassis exported to Australia in 1929 and then there were 3,060 GPO vans built after the end of the 1934 p...

I'm just having my dynamo rebuilt by Paul Rogers. The keyway at the top gave out, and after removal I found the bottom one was no better, so both ends have been welded and ground back to size and new keyways cut. I'm ordering new sealed bearings. I'm also changing the top forks, vertical drive pinio...

Congrats on your re-acquisition, Jeremy!

Looking forward to meeting up again after many years!

Good news! For the Sunday Navigation Rally, you will only need OS map 137. And the Scenic Tourists for both Saturday and Sunday will need no maps, as the route will be clearly detailed in the two Tour Handbooks, to be distributed at the Saturday and Sunday starts. The route tracings and associated i...

I've spent much of the last couple of weeks working up the routes for Saturday and Sunday, an iterative process requiring much negotiation with the owners of various stately home, castles and pubs along the potential routes! I have 'driven' the routes several time in Google Earth Streetview in order...

Additionally, the armature is several thou ...

The planning and menu have now been finalized for our Sunday evening Vintage Evening and BBQ, the highlight of which will be the famed Eureka Jazz band. Often seen at Prescott and other motoring events and led by Terry McGrath - Alvis, Austin 7 driver and still racing his Amilcar. Terry leads on tro...

I have just added the entry list to the website - link near the top. 43 entries so far including seven Minors. And there are plenty more entries in the pipeline - expected entry will top off around 100 or so. Should be a super weekend.

Great updates, George - thanks, and glad your perseverance paid off!

M 189, our Spring Magazine is complete and will ship to the printers on Monday.

Now I need some material to get the Summer Magazine going as I'll need to get that wrapped up before our Big Move back to the UK end of May!

http://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Forumpix/The Grange Hotel.jpg As I have mentioned before, our repatriation to Blighty in June will open up the opportunity to mount spring and autumn Register gatherings – perhaps smaller, more relaxed and more intimate than the main event of our Summer Rally, but no l...

The website for the weekend is now live at https://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Summerra ... _2024.html.

There are still a few updates to add, so stop back to check for these as plans become finalized.

I just engaged the Eureka Jazz Band for Ludlow!
