Vintage Minor Register

Just a heads up that our spring pub meets will all be on Sunday 22nd April - to coincide with Drive-It Day. The Bean CC Minor gang are planning a raid on the Hatchgate and Alex Norman is planning to bring his newly-completed M to Thriplow. We really need to do some work on the Peatling Magna meet to...

Yes, GBP 750 was a bit steep. Re the axle, the ratio would be wrong, but the vendor also had an early (riveted) axle casing spare.

Any colour you liked - as long as it was grey!

Why does the information on the lot state "Sold for 240 Pounds". Sounds like a sweet deal to me!

https://www.hvauctions.com/Morris.html Being auctioned by Hereford Vintage Auctions - a new auction house started by Pete Williams (Morris special owner adn VMR rallygoer) and friends down in Hereford. Looks virtually 100% correct and road sorted - it will be interesting to see what bids it attract...

Did any Minors have the bar between the front dumb irons? Jeremy No, that is a modification - just at the rear. Looks like the chassis didn't sell. After the auction I realised that it has most of the running gear I need for my M chassis. Have e-mailed the vendor, who contacted me before the eBay a...

I would give Dave Cooksey a call. He's going to be doing my hood in the spring. 01264/771857

Work progressed well this weekend with the fitting of the new bonnet catches which required the wings to be very carefully drilled to fit the catches exactly in the right place. Amazingly, everything seems to line up - let's hope this remains the case after the wings have been off for spraying, whic...

According to the OHC Minor Salesman's Manual, the OHC 2-seater (i.e. the Semi-sports) weighed 11 cwt. 2 qtr., so slightly heavier, which is what I would expect, as the ash frame is heavier, and probably the engine as well. The tourer was quoted as the same weight, the fabric saloon was 11 cwt. 3 qtr...

It didn't sell on eBay so is now being offered on Pre-War Cars - for EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS! http://www.prewarcar.com/show_prewar_car.asp?car_id=26525 Also check out the two OHC Minors on offer at http://www.prewarcar.com/searchresults.asp?make=Morris All very pricy, or am I out of touch with the mar...

Chris,

I have various taps in bits - I'll sort out the best set of parts and send them over.

Thanks to Mike Tebbett for spotting this one - 1932 season LWB. Worth GBP 100 just for the instrument panel!

This is new member Martin Croston's 2-seater - see the VMR home page, entry dated 20/11/06. He's having to seel it because he is moving abroad.

Desperately needed for the Semi-sports - the short type fitted to DS4 and D41. Can anyone help?

TIA,

Ian
