Vintage Minor Register

Here you go, Barry. Please post away!

Good job, Barry. And I'll start an 'Our Cars' thread for you.

To all you Minor saloon owners out there. Barry Smith is asking for a description and/or source for the rubber strip for his rear window glass. Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance and I will pass on any info to help Barry with LG 6677 (M33466).

The title says it all! All most welcome from lunchtime onwards.

Full details of the weekend are not yet firmed up, but we expect a weekend commencing with a pub reception on Friday even...

After a request for feedback from members and our friends in the wider vintage community, it became clear that there was weak enthusiasm for a Bicester weekend, but far more enthusiasm for a weekend rallying around the Ludlow area. Accordingly, the decision has been made to pass on Bicester for next...

All warmly invited to our autumn lunchtime pub meet at the Old Bull, Inkberrow, Worcestershire on Sunday 21st October. Always an excellent and eclectic turnout at this historic pub. This meet will take on an Oktoberfest theme with German sausage BBQ and an oompah band in the afternoon!

And M 187 is now at the printers. I'll ensure that M 188 (our Winter issue) will be with everyone in time for Christmas.

Any and all material for M 188 warmly welcomed.

Just a heads up that the Register's Silver Jubilee is fast approaching. Another potential goal for getting that Minor back on the road? No details of how we will celebrate yet, but we certainly will be doing so in style. And then we have the Minor's Centenary to celebrate in 2028, so there's plenty ...
