    Bloody marvellous. I have substantial and expensive weaknesses. Mostly for younger women and older cars. Sir, please keep going what you are doing. I hope soon to purchase a Minor convertible and have a continental road trip planned.

      Thank you! I endeavour to carry on! A continental road trip sounds rather fun!

    Loving the exterior driving shots, well filmed and edited - especially the burnout at the beginning!

      Thanks for the feedback, closest thing you get to a burnout with that!

    My first car was a Moggie Traveller, complete with woodwork. I loved the tuning advice, those engines were unexiting and very forgiving. I paid £15 for it in about 1972. Never let me down, good memories. I also had a van and saloon versions. Good memories, love that exhaust note.

    My dads favourite car was his Morris Traveller, he had it years and with regular maintenance never once let him down, I would love one now, rather than all the modern crap

    Interesting that you did the ignition timing by ear.
    I have done the same on a few occasions on different vehicles, the last was when I replaced the distributor and added electronic ignition on the Moggy..
    Simply marked the position of the old Dizzie before removal and then put the new one in roughly the same position.
    It was good enough for the car to start first go, and then I just adjusted by ear, went on a test drive and all was good.
    Oh and I do keep the old Dizzy, cap and leads in the boot as a spare - just in case.

    Love this video! The Minor and the Rover P6 are probably the best affordable classics now, in my opinion!

    My first car was a Morris Minor. I would take is on dirt roads to practice drifting corners and hand brake turns.

    Timing chain snapping does no damage. I used to run Marina's until they broke down, walked to get the stuff to fix, then off again. My motoring wish, is a stainless steel Morris Marina! I would have stacked all the second spares up, and would NEVER had to buy another car. Found your videos, just in time to block out Jimmy Saville's buddy getting crowned...thanks. Peace brother. Question; What do you call a clown getting a crown? Answer; A circus.

    A rattle as appealing as Jimmy Savills' jewellery.

    the moggy engines were known for their low down torque, you can pull away from 10mph in 4th with no judder.

    Good little car but like most British cars of that time many drivers were week end mechanics. Probably the poor quality products caused loss of British car industry.
