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.

Vintage Minor Register Silver Jubilee 2025
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 ...

Re: VG 2007
Didn't get to the pub in it - there was a deluge! When I took it to the Boot on New Year's Day, it was decidedly underpowered, needing first gear one one hill and only just maintaining forward movement! And I had a repeat of the starting problem I had at Christmas. I fully charged the battery but th...
Re: LJ 4435
I have had a chance to investigate the vertical drive issue. Yesterday I took the radiator off and then released the vertical drive coupling, planning then to remove the cam and withdraw the vertical drive upwards. However, after removing the coupling, I found that the fork on the dynamo can be turn...

Re: Summer Rally and Pre-War Prescott 2023
The Pre-War Prescott weekend commences a week today with our Friday Tour. Actually the weekend starts on Thursday evening, as anyone arriving on Thursday is warmly invited to the Shutters in Gotherington in the evening. Jayne and I arrived in England last Friday and have been busy finalizing plans. ...

Re: Summer Rally 2024 dates
I can also now confirm the date for Pre-War Bicester 2025 - Saturday 19th July.
Re: VG 2007
Back in England for PWP and today I pulled the car out of hibernation. Battery charged, fresh fuel, filled the drained radiator and she fired up immediately with no issues. Oil pressure is 89 psi cold, 85 hot. Took it for a run round the lanes. Taking it to a pub meet at the Boot, Orleton this eveni...

Re: Summer Rally 2024 dates
A quick update. Yesterday, I visited Bicester for a meeting on the ground with the Bicester Motion events team. It could not have gone any better. The visit was a real eye-opener as there is SO much going on at Bicester and the opportunities for us to put on a really good event are enormous. In part...

Re: Summer Rally and Pre-War Prescott 2023
Flying to London tomorrow - most stuff is done now, but I have a list of last minute items to sort next week.
We have a fantastic entry and entries are still flowing in - three just this morning so far.

Re: Summer Rally and Pre-War Prescott 2023
Important change to the weekend. Both the Friday and Sunday runs will now be starting at Ye Olde Hobnails, Little Washbourne (OS150/991322), and NOT the Royal Oak. The Royal Oak were not prepared to open for us because of our small (!) numbers. However, the Hobnails were more than happy to welcome u...

Re: Summer Rally and Pre-War Prescott 2023
When we get to the cottage, I'll have about ten days to sort one or other of the two Minors garaged there - the ex-Halbe fabric saloon and the Semis-ports. The fabric saloon is way down on power, which it shouldn't be after its incredibly expensive racing quality rebuild. I've fiddled about with the...

Pre-War Prescott 2023 is JUST four weeks today! Planning is now almost complete for a truly fabulous weekend and we already have a mouthwatering entry of 200 Edwardian, vintage and pre-war cars, many of which will be joining us for the three-day weekend of rallying, touring, hillclimbing and sociali...

Re: Wanted 1930 OHC Engine
Oh no!
That is bad luck.
I will include a Wanted advert in the July Newsletter, but that won't be out for a couple of weeks.
Is there a chance that it is just a big end? If so, the rod could be replaced from underneath. How bad is the engine?
