• Any Morris Minor owners knocking about on here? I've been faced with the option to buy a 1960 4 door which is in pretty wicked nick off of my neighbour. Been dry stored for the past few years, he's too old to drive and wants it going to a good home. Wife isn't keen and I talked myself out of it as a result...but I can't stop thinking about it..

  • Not me personally but my parents have a saloon and a traveller. The saloon hasn't moved in ages but I'm hoping that it might make a future project for me now that mini's are getting so expensive. The traveller just got a bit of love with a slightly breathed on 1275 and some extra bits and pieces. They are a really usable classic and seem to have resisted the price hikes that have hit their contemporaries.

  • You need to buy it. A minor in good shape is a thing of beauty. Classically understating and quintessentially British

  • Yep, Cycliste and I have a newly-restored Traveller in totally standard spec, apart from an uprated gearbox seal. My advice is make sure it's sound and in good nick. Ours was ruinously expensive to restore - probably about 3 times what it's actually worth.

  • My mate has one along with an old Alvis, I helped him replace all the window rubbers last week :)
