First car I ever had. In white. And yes all the wooden bits. It was bought as an MoT failure to be used to carry mill waste up and down to repair the vehicle tracks. Thanks for posting the video.
Morris Minor 4x4
- Thread starter @theroedeerguy
- Start date
The third Minor I had after a couple of vans was a white traveller 1000...MOT write off welded up, XBE 724 even remember the registration.
Why is the OP video title block showing it reversed to a left hand drive and number plate backwards I wonder?

If only LR & Morris had done one back in the day.
First cars were Minor 850, Minor 1000 and then the woody traveller, just wish I had kept them all along with the minivans and mini pickups I have had along the way. 
You can try and get this!Morris minorbrought back memories me and my bricklayer partner bought a pickup off a farmer 40 years ago for £100.00 wish I still had it only one i ever seen
Similar thread, I was in a car club, and used to attend rallies, and passenger in hill climbs etc. Once went to a rally event a chap turned up with an old Austin A35, it took off like a rocket!!, the owner had put a Jag engine and gearbox in. There was no back seats as he had to put his hand well back to change the gears!!, also there was a few Janglias, Ford Anglia with Jag engine and gearbox, the engine...uity of it all

£6495 ?! I'd be expecting £6490 change to be fair.
I had a "little bubble car...beep beep" experience many years ago...I had the loan my brother-in-law's lovely Healey 3000 mkIII for 9 months of the great drought year of 1976...Burbling along to Redditch folk club one evening I overtook an orange Maxi at the foot of a long straight hill...casually glancing in the mirror after the manoeuvre I was shocked to see the Maxi had suddenly become a little matt black Ford Anglia! He chased me into the 30 mile limit in Bromsgrove and sedately at 30mph all the way through town and then onto the dual carriageway where I thought "bloody cheek! I'll show him".... I floored it in all 6 ratios and he remained on my bumper just like the bubble car until I gradually began to pull away at 120....I guessed that was a Lotus Cortina engine...

Had the chance to buy a mint Morris Minor about 42 years ago for £250. It was owned from new by a mechanic, garaged, only taken out on a dry Sunday. He said you'll be learning to drive soon, I sell you that car. My thoughts were oh God my mates would all take the pjss out of me. So that was another regrettable decision. I did buy a boat, outboard and trailer from him for £60, kept it a few years and sold it for 120

Were they the little arms that swung out on the pillar between the driver and rear passenger doors? Also had a tendency to stick out methinks.
Great days.

Yes my Mum’s Ford Pop had them. My first car was a Moggy as well.
The Pop, the Anglia and the Prefect with an E93A sidevalve engine, my father fitted twin strombergs

I remember thumping the door pillars to get the things moving.
A Webasto (?) hand pump screen wash system, a Smith’s Industry’s blower heater, and set of winker lamps and a flasher unit...were the standard Go Faster bits I fitted to most of my early vehicles.

Thanks for the memory A - I had forgotten my job as a boy was to thump the pillars after it seems every turn!
