1952 Morris Minor MM - First Drive in Six Years

Hi everyone, first post. This is my 1952 Morris Minor MM. This was the first time the car drove in six years of being parked. I’ve included a few shots of the 918 sidevalve flathead 4 cylinder, a remnant of the earlier Morris 8. I haven’t shown the work it took to get it to this point, with the piston in the SU seized and the intake manifold gaskets being replaced. Other than those fixes which were pretty minimal, the car started well and filled the shed with smoke! Welcome to my channel, I’ll post more videos providing updates on the restoration process.

The size is great for contemporary driving, I just didn’t fit in it!
