Vintage Minor Register

Hello Folks Someone's sure to know if the rear brake cables really do have the inner multi-strand cables just going through the hole in a brass "eye" mounted just outboard of each of the forward hangers of the rear spring? This eye would act as a stop for the cable outer as well, I'm assum...

Hello Folks With enormous help and encouragement from our Ian Grace I've just bought the last scuttle-tank Minor, a saloon apparently coming off the production line on 17th July 1931 and being first registered on the 31st of that month in West Yorkshire. It's in a bit of a state and hasn't been used...
