You still see a lot of them around as they have very active and enthusiastic clubs

Cheap to run, reasonable to buy, all parts still avalible, who`d have a corsa instead?

I spent too many hours that i should have been in college perched on cars in scrap yards trying to dismantle the front trunnions etc to keep mates cars on the road. Nice reliable simple old things but i wouldn't like to be in a crash in one nowadays.

A Morris Minor was my first car (not the estate though). Was coach painted in a lovely pale blue; belonged to my mother in law, pressie from father-in law's garage, however, after passing her test decided driving was not for her.
Did actually park next to one at Asda last week, and had a quick flash of nostalgia, but then thought about those indicators, no air conditioning, electric windows, radio, power steering, etc., ... turned quickly on my heels back to my reasonably high-spec. Toyota. No thanks, been there done that .. move on Kate.
There was one featured in the last episode of the T.V drama 'Place of Execution, don't know if anyone else noticed it ?

Sure that one of the teachers at Moorhead when i was there in the 80's had one. Cant remember her name but think she taught french. Always thought it looked weird but thanks to a bit more sense it was perfect for its era. are they a fire hazzard and theft targets for bommy night with that wood on em??
Must have got that wrong Beni, she'd have run you overRemember it well jay I was the lad walking in front with the red flag.
Quite a few down this way, as well, plenty of morris clubs as well, but see a few still in daily use. I had a shooting brake in early 70s, but wrapped it round a lamp post going up thr drive at Calderstones, I was living in at the time, so I was just about home, they deducted the cost of a replacement out of my wages.
