Vintage Minor Register

What a joke ! Replica ?

Perhaps the originator/builder is registered blind. We shouldn't mock the afflicted.

I have examined my carburettor , and the spares , and there is no part like the one you have shown.

Contact me on my email address , anthony.gamble@btconnect.com , and we'll see what we can do to sort you out.

I have one of these early carbs on my '28 fabric saloon. It seems to work Ok , maybe a bit susceptible to flooding .

What bit of yours is broken ? I have some spare parts for this type of carb.

I have had a quotation from a very reputable company who have done superb work for me in the past, at a figure around £650 for a complete rebuild which includes all coils rewound, and I have always been surprised at the Nottingham prices.

Tony G

Yes. I have a further response offering spares from a OHC saloon that is obviously NOT owned by this character.

Ignore or send suitable response back that you have sussed him out !!

Otherwise it's the same car , surely !

Tony G

Successfully bid for at the exhorbitant price of 99p !!

Just need to collect it. I think my offer has been taken up by another member , but watch this space.

Tony G

I'll have a go for this as it's near to me.

Does anyone require this type of early [ not the earliest though ] wheel ?

Ian Your screen looks like one from a Standard Swallow rather than the A7 Swallow. The A7 Swallow windscreen is like the one shown on the Minor picture which is divided half way up the drivers side. In the Standard Swallow article from Practical Classics the windscreen does look exactly like the one...

Ian I too have contemplated such a project , especially with having a swallow tourer, and I also have acquired a saloon screen and spare wings. I have obtained the Standard Swallow restoration book and read some of it with interest. I feel that the cost of a saloon body , even just the ash frame , f...
