I had thought of that but the chances of a sale occuring in time to purchase such a worthy replacement are sadly minimal.....

Re: EBay Finds
This doesn't seem a too unreasonable price

Re: EBay Finds
Probably the best way to approach a Minor....cheap and unmolested.

Re: EBay Finds
Back in 1997 one of the directors at the company I repped for brought his 1982, carb fed 1.6 SR, saloon non injection that he'd owned from new into the office to see if any of the staff wanted it for free.
Like a total prick I was late in that day and missed out as he'd already phoned the scrap man by the time I arrived. Other than some slight scabbery on the rear valance it was perfect.

Re: EBay Finds
Indeed - nice looking thing - I am not a Minor expert, but shouldn't this have a black speedo and two spoke wheel to go with the later front and rear lights? (Just asking not moaning).AutoshiteBoy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:29 amThat does seem surprisingly cheap and unmolestered.mercrocker wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 9:03 pm Probably the best way to approach a Minor....cheap and unmolested.

Re: EBay Finds
There are 3 minors inc a van rotting to fuck on land behind an ex pub near me. Think they are still there, they were in practical classics years ago.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

No it is correct....Tandem wipers and later light units came in during October 1963 but the update to dash, speedo and steering wheel didn't occur until
the following October. Chassis number of this one indicates a Summer 1964 build.

Re: EBay Finds
That minor is something that I'd be very tempted with, especially as that's my preferred price point for classic projects. Just with 3 out of 6 cars currently not useable in someway, I really can't justify another that will invariably need work. Even if one car has just gone from the "fleet"...
