Guilty as charged - RAF retired.
And SV Minors are most welcome - there are some in the calendar - at least April and May! The pics were chosen at random from VMR archives, selected solely on their suitability to sepia-ize!
If you have any pics you would like uploading to the forum, simply e-mail them to me and I will do the honours.
Edited to add that the VMR was founded to cater specifically for the OHC Minor and although it welcomed anyone as a member, there were few SV cars in the Register until Gren Strickland (who had a website predominantly looking after the SV cars) moved on to VW campers about five years ago (?) and passed his archive over to the VMR (much of which can be found in the Gren Strickland Archive in the Members' Area). This explains why we still have many more OHC Minors in the Register than SV Minors, although many more SV Minors have survived than OHC Minors. A squint at the chassis register on the website will show that there is a comparable number of SV Minors that have been tracked down, but there is clearly much more work to be done in finding them and bringing their owners onboard. It can also be seen that there are many SV Minors on the register whose owners are unknown. Any help in filling in the blanks would be greatly appreciated - 200 pairs of eyes are better than one! Much of the behind-the-scenes work of the Register is related to completing the chassis register and tracking down surviving cars and their owners.
Here's a photo of our first ever pub meet - Autumn 2001 at the Shoulder of Mutton, Hazeley, Hampshire. The attendees at these meets were known as the Muttoneers. Eight vintage Minors plus Gren with his SV 2-seater at far left. The Semi-sports fourth from left and the saloon second from right are both ex-editorial conveyances!
