Vintage Minor Register

Hear or seen nothing for over a week. Am I the only one left to put the lights off!!!? Highlander.

I am sure four blades would help. My 1933 two seater boils like a good one on long hills and long high speed (!?) bursts. When overhauling the engine I paid attention to cleaning the waterways in the block and head. I got a bucketfull of rust, scale and sh.t out. I also renewed all core plugs. Still...

My spare 1934 sv engine has four blades. My 1933 original engine does not. Highlander.

OK James but the photo is a copy anyway and I have them 50 years!!! It is up to you. Can you still get 28x3? Some early M/Cycles had them. Seem large (tall) to me. Highlander.

James. Have dug out photo of Rover 8. I am no expert on dates but looks as if on BE tyres - 1922-25ish. The wheels are disc and not spoked. I have also dug out my old Humber 8 tyres and they are 26x3BE. Are yours 28?? Two tyres are brand new (indian) and one very old and US. Yours if you want them. ...

James, I will dig the old photo of the Rover 8 and send it down to you - address please. I will also look for some old 28x3 tyres - these will be B/E? I had an early 8/18 Humber but would these have been 26x3? I will look in the week. We have a wedding next Saturday - a Daughter is getting married s...

James, what year is your Rover 8? I have a very good photo taken in 1927 of an early Rover 8 taken in Ewell, SDurrey. The owner sold the 8 to buy a 1927 Humber 9 which I owned for many years.H ighlander. (Alister 0208 393 6732)

Ian, posted 5pm this evening. Interesting to see how long delivery takes. Highlander.

Ian, I will be posting above sometime today snail mail. Is your address still same as Members List? 13416 Kellogg Lake Rd, Sultan? Highlander.

A wonderful story and just goes to show what a super Club we all belong. Molly and I have got 54 years under our belt and we know what tension a 50th Wedding Anniversary can become and something like seeing again the car you owned 50 years ago suddenly appear would make anyones day. Dont the couple ...

Ian, Yes I will, Highlander.

In todays Automobile there is a very good Obit for Anthony Mattinson. Quite a bit about the McEvoy Special and where it went - also on the same page an Obit for Lord Raglan Fitzroy - he built a Morris Special at Argic.College. Must be a record to have Morris mentioned twice on one page. a 1932 two s...

I am no expert but the Rad is 1933. Wheels are early. One piece screen (Two piece in 1933) It will be interesting to see what it fetches. Sailed through the MOT to day but got a fright!!- Whilst on the ramp I was asked to take a look and noticed one nut and bolt missing from the propshaft!! The test...

My e.mails now OK. I have been out of action for a week. I see the MU numbers are still in the Sunday Telegraph. I have had no feed back as to spacing of letters and numbers being an MOT failure i.e. MU1 687 to read MU 1687. Can anyone help? I see such strange numbers and letter made to read names I...

OK, OK, but I did drive my Minor at 45mph today!!! Did any of you? Been to another funeral today of a very dear friend. Thank your lucky stars, Highlander.
