Guy Harris was recently re-united with his 1933 Minor Two-seater FS 5294, a car he first owned as a student in 1958. He writes: The (recent) picture was taken when\u00a0I had it picked up (on the back of a flatbed). \u00a0I was given the lead by Ian Grace of Vintage Minor Register and followed it up. The car had lived within 30 miles of\u00a0where I have lived for many years. I have since turned the headlight brackets round as it looked rather\u00a0weird – the brackets had been put on the wrong sides for some reason. It is in quite good condition as you can see, but various bits need de-rusting. I ran the engine briefly on January 1st after fitting a new coil, rebuilt carb as needle was corroded and bent, rebuilt distributor etc. Probably needs rewiring as a lot of the wires look original and a bit tatty in places. Hood needs replacing \u00a0sometime as the remains of the hood that came with it looks like the John Wrigley hood I fitted in 1959 – cost \u00a36-17-6 according to the invoice that was still with the car. A note on the invoice from JW states –\u00a0\u201c sorry about\u00a0the price increase\u201d !! Yes all my invoices from 1958 to 1961 were still with the car, along with the original buff logbooks, which indicates that only 3 people have looked after the car since I sold it in 1961 for \u00a315, after 10,000 miles, one replacement crankshaft, Bowden cables on the front etc. The crankshaft broke after a\u00a0\u201crace\u201d along the Dorking by-pass with a Morris 8 when an indicated 60mph was noted briefly – quite exciting as the car did not have any shock absorbers (pre- MOT), but the two main bearing crank obviously protested reasonably enough.<\/em><\/div>\n
I am looking for a petrol tank cap, plus drawings of side screens and a good photo of the door pockets of the 2 seater, as the originals have been replaced with flat fabric covered door cards. Hopefully somebody may be able to oblige? <\/em><\/strong>If anyone can help Guy, please contact chris@prewarminor.com in the first instance.
