In top gear it always sounds as though it's looking for a fifth.

Should probably say somewhere in the title or description that this is a 1098 swapped car not the original 948, I was a bit confused until I read the comments..!

My dad had 12 siblings, and when I was a kid in the early 1960'ies two pairs of Uncles/Aunts had a Minor - or a "Morris Ten-Hundred" as we call it here. They had 2 and 3 kids respectively. Another Uncle/Aunt-pairing had a Lloyd Alexander, and a fouth pair a NSU Prinz 4. Our neighbours had a Fiat 600 and we had a Beetle 1200. And, as I recall it, we all went where we wanted, when we wanted. We didn't need a 2 tonnes airconditioned behemoth to do that... But it might just be me becoming a sort of dinosaur.

This time he dident indicate at all

He was already halfway down the merging lane before he put his traficators/blinkers on

I new i would work it out its a hilman super minx

Or is it a sunbeam rapier

Did he just pass a triumph herald

Something just occurred to me all the cars that passed you with in 15 years will be in the junk yard your little moggie will still be skippin along truly beautiful little car

thanks for the little ride, pure enjoyed it! laugh it that car has seen a lot of models come and go over the decades, and its still more reliable and better built etc than anything that was on the A1 with it.

I don’t think I’d be pushing it that far. My 850 engined Reliant has slightly higher gearing and I’ll go to 60 in that, which is 3500rpm, quite enough. A Minor is a car I’ve wanted for years though!

Never gonna be a racing car but no embarrassment either.

Wingmirrors need adjustment.

Muggy going well ,looks like about 65 ,l drovecmy 100e down to Cornwall 4 times and 50 was pushing it

Good job on the car be interesting to see a stock have a go at it.

Hello, I bought two cars from Duncan Hamilton who had a garage in Bagshot in the late 70s. One was an A40, and the other was a Morris Minor. I paid £28 for the pair. The A40 was too rusty for the MOT test, but it had a perfect balance engine. Whether it had been 'blueprinted' or just lucky, I do not know. I think it belonged to the secretary at Hamilton's garage. The Minor however did pass the MOT but the engine used a bit of oil. The plan, (there always is a plan isn't there!) , was to swap over the engine. It never happened. Anyway I was doing a contract job down in Farnborough and I was living in West London so a blast down the M3 was required twice a day. The Minor was a superb car in every respect. It did this with the speedometer pretty much off the clock no problem at all. The oil consumption however provided a very elegant solution to gallons of old oil in my garage that had come from oil changes from other cars that I had had. I would not use the last inch or two in the can when I topped up the Minor. I do however have to apologise to other road users of the M3 for the fine application of oil on the road as most seemed to leak out judging by the road surface where it was parked. Happy days. It lasted a year until replaced by a Reliant Kitten estate. That is another story!! Needless to say, the Kitten has a power to weight ratio to embarass Porche owners in the 0 to 20 traffic light drag! and I did! Happy motoring to you all. Ray Peto

Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe . . .

I learnt to drive in one , my mum taught me, 1986

Love the car. Had 2 myself brave man. Could do with a few more GG and five gears

Proper a series trash ❤️❤️❤️🤠JB

The old girl is going great !

She's pulling well !

It doesn't sound like a Morris Minor 1000 !

It could be a power unit from an MGB Gt !

Other wise it would struggle .

Has he got some thing underneath that bonnet ? A Marina Bmc 1800 lump maybe ?

So how much has it being souped up. Mine struggled to get 60mph. This one gets that in third. Why?

Love this.....great little motors

A wonky steering wheel would drive me nuts. Lol.

Does the car still have the original A series under the bonnet?? Sounds a bit throaty at times

Yeah, love it ! we have a video similar airing tonight driving in a 1952 Riley, added a bit of music only because there are some drone shots else I would have enjoyed the engine singing, nice one !

I just sarted driving my Minor with 948 on the highway here in the US. Kinda scary ill be driving 65 and people around me going 80.

Are you using a standard differential?

How long does it usually take to start on freezing cold mornings? Does it take longer when it hasn't been used for several days?

What is top speed of Morris minor ?

Very brave indeed.

Good god what engine is that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you that was Awesome...! headphones on was like being in the car .i was Looking at the brake peddle thinking that's obsolete at this speed. 😊❤❤❤

CANT WAIT TO GET MY 1960 MINOR BACK ON RD I ONLY CRUISED HER 50 TOPS DIDNT HEAR THE FART WHEN YOU CHANGED DOWN IS IT A 1098 OR 1275 BET ITS A 1275 LONGER GEAR CHANGES STILL GREAT SOUND HAPPY SAFE MOTORING

What's the car at 9:48 ? Triumph Herald ?

Do you favour a particular brand of oil? Or use any additives? I used to drive my 1098 at 75-80 mph for quite long periods - it never BROKE the engine, but I believe that I forced an oil seal somewhere by overfilling the sump, in my efforts to be zealous about having a good quantity of oil in there before such journeys. I'd recommend to be scrupulous about checking the dipstick when the car is standing perfectly level and has had plenty and plenty of time for all the oil to have dropped into the sump. And then do NOT fill it even one jot above the full mark. ;-)

Here in America, driving on the main highways I would see, whst I call " packs" of cars all racing as a group. I stay away from. They like to pass each other and like a game. If one car loses control in the pack. I use to let them pass me, even slow down to get them on their way

I owned a 1967 Fiat 1100D. Great little. Being an immature young man.Treated like a Ferrari. It didn' t last long

Thrilling and very evocative as reminds me of an uncle who often drove his Minor at these speeds but even he did worry slightly about his big-ends in the 1098 engine at warp 75 !

Have to ask, what is the engine set up? Sounds very nice.

That can not be a 948 lol

Fantastic ! I've had my 1st Minor 12 weeks and haven't even sat in it ! All the work is done now and I'm just waiting for the V5c. Thanks a lot.

1098 or 1275?

great little cars

you moggie minor man
