1970 Morris Minor 1000 2 Door Saloon. BFH 702J
Lincolnshire
'Misty', as she is affectionately known, was the current owners' first car at the age of sixteen. A small amount of work to get her roadworthy was carried out before being used as a daily drive.
An accident in late January 2012 prompted a full and comprehensive rebuild, and she returned to the road in time for the National Rally 2012.
Misty is now running a 1275 A+ Ital engine, disc brakes, anti roll bar and several other upgrades, and is used regularly in all weathers.

Lincolshire
'Mavis' is a 1960 factory convertible. Bought in good running condition in June 2012, and used regularly in the UK and in France on Minors On Tour until 2015 when a small amount of welding was required for MOT which prompted full blown restoration, which is currently in progress.

1956 Morris Minor Series II 2-door Saloon WSL 230
Cambridgeshire
Originally registered on the 1st of July 1956 as KAN 863, she was bought and quickly sold again in 2001 for the registration plate and given the current regustration plate of WSL 230. Having had several owners over the years, the car has had various upgrades, which include a later 1098cc unleaded engine, Morris 1000 gearbox, MG Midget rear differential and front brake disks with brake servo allowing her to handle better in modern traffic. Over the years the car has been used for weddings and other special occasions

1968 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller UMF 361F
Bedfordshire
Albert has been restored and converted to be an Overland Traveller and was driven 21,000 miles from Bedfordshire to Mongolia and back in 2015. The restoration involved installing a 1275cc low compression engine, series I axle with 4.55 diff and uprated suspension with adjustable dampers for varying load and road conditions. Removing the rear seats and installing a custom made long range tank with the rear compartment converted to give sufficient storage for two spare wheels, spares such as clutch, alternator, fuel pump, half shafts and miscellaneous bits and pieces in the event of a breakdown. In addition camping gear, electric coolbox and water for desert crossings was also carried ensuring everything needed for a successful adventure was present. This Traveller is definitely one of a kind.

1960 Morris Minor 1000 4 Door Saloon. 913 XUM
Peterborough
'Tracey', is the owners first foray in to Morris Minor ownership. Purchased as a project, she was very tired mechanically and cosmetically but more importantly solid where it mattered. Having been stored for a year since purchase in 2015, an idea was formed in early 2017 to prepare the car for MOT (Minors on Tour) in May. Many parts were sourced and over the period of a couple of weekends and the odd evening Tracey received a complete mechanical overhaul. The plan went perfectly and Tracey successfully completed her Easter shake down trip camping in Norfolk, as well as attending MOT in Brittany, both trips complete with a trailer tent in tow.
Future upgrades include a larger carb and exhaust to help the 1098 breathe more easily. The paintwork will remain for now!
