PJ 7901 is a 1932 Morris Minor 5 cwt van. Seven years have elapsed since Tim Stubbs and his team of retirees started work on their restoration project. Each of Tim’s team members bring a unique skill set to bear while their sessions have now become both social occasions as well as working parties. While the finishing straight is not yet in sight, significant progress has been made as can be seen here.
This 1934 season (registered December 1933) Morris Minor four-door saloon (VXS 124) has been in the ownership of this couple for the past nine years. They now feel it’s time to move the Minor on to a new custodian. Further details appear on the website’s Discussion Forum (www.prewarminorforum.com) It should also be noted that a large quantity of spare parts comes with the vehicle.
After a postponement on the 1st January due to strong winds and heavy rain, the Network’s Far Eastern New Year meet was resheduled for Sunday 5th only for the weather to be equally inclement. The two crews that opted to drive to the Cross Keys in Redgrave, Suffolk had to contend with heavy rain on both their outward and return journeys.
Tony Gamble‘s new Mulliner styled body has now been firmly affixed to its new permanent home – a 1930 Morris Minor rolling chassis. Garry Waiting has been trimming and finishing the body which was started by Networker Jeremy Evans 11 years ago. It is believed that an engine rebuild is to follow.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL NETWORKERS WHEREVER YOU RESIDE!!
With just a few days remaining of 2024 it’s time to look forward to 2025 and a new vintage mororing year. Janie Maeers was determined to see the old year out in style, bedecking her growing fleet of pre-war Morris Minors in tinsel before heading off for a tour around her local Leicestershire villages.
This Morris Minor commercial special (FH 8665) is a true hybrid in that it’s an amalgam of at least two Morris Minors. The vehicle started life as a saloon and was first registered in Gloucestershire in 1934. At some point it was converted to its current configuration gaining a 1931 S.V. Minor radiator and wheels along the way. The van and its crew briefly joined us on our Jurassic Rally in 2016 (Sheila Butland in shot) which is where the R/H photo was taken. The van resides in Devon.
This screengrab of our earlier website’s homepage was captured on 23rd December 2013. Alongside the festive cheer the website had reported the death of Brian Maeers just four days previously. Brian was a long-term and enthusiastic owner of four pre-war Minors making Christmas 2013 a sad time for the community.
