Vintage Minor Register

Hi Ian,
Many thanks for prompt info regard build data on my Minor. All numbers tally so engine etc is original.

Thanks again for effort.

Sorry Ian, I think I may be one of the overdue for 2013. Will check .

Hi Ian, Thanks for doing that. Yes I had noticed on the listing that my car has the engine number following the saloon Colin has, I had assumed that as my car followed his on the listing that engine numbers would follow. Is it possible that you have any lay down details etc. If not is it possible th...

Hi Ian,
You still do not have it correct Ian, you have the engine number as the chassis number, I have
given you all the correct details in my previous post above.Mike

Hi All. I first tried one of the MG 56ah batteries from the MG club, this was fine when I did the rewire, but when fully charged was just not man enough to start the car.

the tightness, again never had a problem.Mike

Another Minor appeared on ebay this evening, not sure about body.odd.

He also used to service the 8 vans of a firm I used to manage as well as the firms cars. He used nothing but grease on all cylinder heads ...

Hi All, For Sale .Not a Minor but a 1929 Folding head Morris Cowley. This is a one family owned car and has a load of documentation and some early photos. The car spent its whole life in the New Forest. I have had this car since the mid nineties and have totally stripped it down and re assembled it....

Yes ,I understand it is Oct. My local testing station had not had any info either..

Hi All, I wonder what effect the new MOT regulations (not required on older vehicles)will have on insurance premiums as now the onus of the vehicle being roadworthy is on the owner. I am sure most owners want them to be roadworthy anyway, but now the test is not compulsory there will be some who tak...
