    Fabulously well concieved and executed, it simply looks right.

      Agreed. I am not a fan of the original Traveller but this looked so good. It would have been wow to have shifted a Moggie onto a V8 Landie back in the day!

      Well, You've got the countryside for it over there.
      Mind you, there's also some pretty kick arse drivers roads in mid Wales too...... Unfortunately, you also have the Welsh traffic police hiding in every other layby and friggin' hedgerow with their speed guns. Even a lot of the regular police think that the local traffic cops are bastards !

    @jonh9561 3 года назад +9

    This is real nice. Some hybrids turn out very well, I remember seeing an MG two seater on a range rover chassis and running gear ........ looked great and with a low centre of gravity, it was very good off road..

    This little Morris Minor 4x4 would have some tremendous advantages over larger 4x4 vehicles, as it would be able to get into areas that it's larger counterparts couldn't get into

    Wowowowow! Wow! Wow!
    I just love the Morris Minor Traveller!! (1958 model). It was my first car and would have been with me today, if I could have restored it myself…. I also had one of the first Suzuki SJ 10 off road vehicles.
    Gosh!!! 😮. Imagine if I could have done what you have 😱❤️❤️❤️
    Have fun and enjoy.

    I seen one today here in Egypt looking to see one that was off road based. Well, it seems I'll definitely build it and lift this rare find because I thought it was the most beautiful chunk of metal I've ever seen. Half ton solid axel swap with a custom 6inch lift on a new stronger chassis running on leaf spring and shocks. Your build inspired me to take this and run with it. To top it off, your paint job on this beast is effin brilliant. Cheers from Egypt man

    Awesome little car, when I first saw it I thought it must have had a Harry Firth running gear from Oz , if you remember the Holden HQ to WB in limited 4WD numbers.
    However, youve cleared that one up with the Vitara running gear given the shorter wheelbase, hope it gives you years of satisfaction!
    Thanks for the video clip!
