Congratulations Halbe!

You are a brave man buying an unseen motor car, I hope it all works out OK. Is this instead of an MG M type, or as well as?

Regards David

I understand that the OHC ratio is 4.88:1 (9/44) - see the Technical Section - but Morris 8 and SV Minor are different and if fitted to an M would produce great acceleration but a much lower top speed. This is a pity because Morris 8 crownwheel and pinion sets are reasonably easy to find. I believe...

If you listen to the grapevine within the VSCC I'm afraid the campaign for equality with the Austin Seven, i.e. the admission of sidevalve cars on to the PVT list was thought to be rather rammed down the VSCC throat a bit, and upset what is described as 'The Powers That Be'. It was a bit like the co...

As I only finished fitting halfshafts and rear wheel bearings at 12.30pm on 01.01.08 I gave up thoughts of the Phoenix at H/W and motored to the White Horse at Harwell Oxon. This is a local (to me) old car meeting place for all old car enthusiasts combining the Austin 7 & 12 Clubs, the MG Car Cl...

This is WE 6554 having fun on the 2007 Cotswolds Trial. She is a 1929 OHC Nickel Radiater Tourer in completely standard tune.

This is a photo of my late Uncle Ron and the Aston in about 1965! Notice the MG next to him, that was also quite a car!

Here's a picture of Halbe's Aston. See his post on the previous page. Halbe is looking for an M Type. http://www.vintageminor.co.uk/Forumpix/P1010189.jpg Lovely Car Halbe! My late Uncle bought a MKII 1.5 4 seater back in the early 1960s. It was the first proper PVT car I rode in! My Cousin now owns...

I agree that Ian has done a sterling job with the VMR and should be congratulated on all his hard work; he really has gone beyond the call of duty! :) I however do not feel that the VSCC can, or should be blamed, because they would not fall in to line with Ian's proposals. I was pleased with the rev...
