Vintage Minor Register

James, I will now try and find the photograph!!! It was taken here in Ewell in 1928 in a garden in St. James Avenue when Mr. Arther Riggs moved into the house when newly built. He then purchased a 1927, 9.20hp Humber 4 seater tourer and in 1957, whilst a young police officer I met Mr. Riggs and beca...

Is your Rover 8 the two cylinder type - one cylinder poking out of the bonnet? I have some photos. Highlander. - about 1923/4.

Andrew. I have looked into my wwiper box. I am sorry but I do not have any wiper arms. I thought I did but all are either older or newer. I do have two wiper blades - any good - you can have them. Highlander.

I am off scottish dancing this evening and I am taking the class. I will look ion my wiper box tomorrow. Highlander.

What sort of wiper arm do you want? I have dozens. Highlander.

Thank you Simon. Mr. Patternoster (John?). Sorry I cannot help. Love to see you if you are in the area - John(?) purchased the four seater tourer from Keith in Banstead, Surrey. Highlander.

I have asked this question before on this forum but so far no answer. Is a sv pulley the same as an OHV pulley. I have two sv pullies and someone with an ohv engine wants a pulley. I do not want him to waste a journey. Highlander.

Chris, Glad to have been some help. A breath of fresh air to find a minor owner who drives his car!!!! I do not know what it is about Minor owners who are always fiddling and seldom driving. All other make of vintage or old car all fiddling is done on the hoof and seldom laid up for days, weeks, mon...

Colin. I do have some old 'new' couplings. They are very hard. I also have some good but secondhand couplings. Where do you live? I have never had trouble with couplings - however if they are not right, or fitted incorrectly, vibration sets in. Highlander. Phone 0208 393 6732. (near Epsom Surrey)

Ian, A cheeky question - How many 1932 Morris Minor Two seaters could you have bought instead of the plane? I think it is wonderful and would have loved to be able to fly. I am afraid of modern planes and dislike flying but I am sure I would love flying in one of these. I will be 79 when you finish ...

Just the sort of thing to buy when the wife is away!!!!!!!! Wonderful. Is it a single seater or two? If it is a two I bags the first trip!!!! I see it might take 4 years - might take a rain check on this one!!! Highlander.

Mike, I have seen your photograph of your block. I see it is OHV. The pulley looks the same as a SV. Is it? - noone has come back on the question. Is the thread on your crank different from mine? I have two SV pulleys. Had my military trews on this week and last at Burns Suppers - you never loose it...

GG 884, Barry Henderson's 1932 Minor 2 seater is still for sale. He thought it was sold but it fell through. Barry is much better now so telephone Barry Henderson on 0208 670 5864. Still at £8000 with loads of spares (3 engines) will NOT seperate. Highlander.

Mike and everyone else. - A Happy New Year - Just back from three nights of Scottish Dancing, too much eating and far too much drinking but what the hell!!! Is your pulley the same as a sv minor. I have two. Ring 0208 393 6732 (anytime but I am now golfing again as the snow has gone - best time PM- ...

Ian, You have been across the water for too long!! Forget Martini and Gin and Tonic - try a rusty nail - a good slug of Drambuie and equal measure of Scotch - no ice and a Happy Christmas to you all. May day May day - are you receiving Paul!!! Highlander.
