Thanks to Haydon Edwards a series of eight Joseph Lucas correspondence course tutorials have been added to the Member’s Area Technical Bits section under ‘Electrical & Wiring’. They are comprehensive, easy to understand and go back to first principles.

Thanks to our roving photographers many more images have been added to the foot of the 2024 Event Galleries page. They cover the recent ‘Morris Fest’ at Thoresby Park, Notts and just some of the events held to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the founding of the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) in 1934. Those contributing include, Mike Adams, Jeremy Evans, Ken & Kate Martin, Phil Parry-Jones and  Phil Jones.

The 1934 season Morris Minors (except for the Two-seater) were equipped with Moseley pneumatic seat cushions. Peter Brock has compiled a sequence of images illustrating how these were constructed which can now be found in The Technical Bits section of the Member’s Area under ‘Everything Else‘.

Thanks goes to Jeremy Evans and Phil Jones who have both contributed images taken at the recent Pre-war Ludlow event in the Welsh Marches, all of which can be found at the foot of the the 2024 Event Galleries page here.

A series of images taken by members during the recent National Drive-it-Day have been added to the 2024 Event Galleries page.

Thanks to the engineering skills of Hayden Edwards and Peter Brock‘s graphics expertise a new ‘How to’ pdf has been uploaded to the Technical Bits section under Instruments & controls within the Member’s Area. While the pdf entitled ‘The Slow Running Control‘ specifically relates to the 1934 season models much of the information is common across all Minor model years.

A new 2024 Event Galleries page was launched today. It can be found under ‘Events’ on the website’s main menu or view it via this link.

On 12th May 1934 a new weekly motoring magazine, the  Practical Motorist, was launched with little fanfare. It was aimed at the do-it-yourself owner driver and was continuously in print until 1997 seeing off more illustrious rivals in the shape of The Motor and Light Car along the way. During the early months of its publication it ran a sequence of articles entitled ‘Get-you-home dodges’ which provided practical advice on overcoming roadside problems. In most cases these tips are just as relevant today for those running pre-war cars and could save a call to your favoured recovery service. The first five of a fifteen part sequence of articles can now be found on a single PDF in the Member’s Area Technical Bits section under ‘Everything Else’.

More images have been added to the 2023 Event Galleries page with photos taken at Far Eastern pub Meet and the VSCC’s Welsh Trial. the latters courtesy of Ali Bond. Find them at the foot of this page.

An important addendum to Jo Rayner’s ‘A Guide to the rebuilding of a three-speed gearbox’ has just been uploaded to the Technical Bits section, and can be found in the ‘Gearbox, Clutch & Differential’ sub-folder.
