Do you drive it or is it an investment?

Gosh...........that takes me back to my pre-teens and runs to junior school from Gramps...............

God that brings back nice memories Lee!
What you said about the wood frame being structural was spot on , mine was rammed up the Khyber by my drunken neighbour in his Ford Corsair at 10mph & when his brother knocked on my door to tell me and I came out to see what was what & saw the Corsair with a severely crumpled front end I nearly passed out! . On inspection, my Moggy had the offside lamp glasses smashed & 'scuffing' of the wood varnish but nothing else! , not a dent, nor a ripple nor a crack anywhere!   British Design at it's very best

I remember the characteristic sound of a Moggie exhaust on engine over-run......modern engines just don`t sound like that do they?

Both, it does 2 runs a year. To my local and the national MMOC meets. If it has 1k added to the mileage a year it's lucky.

Philrich, the wood was replaced when I rebuilt it nearly 5 years ago, A grade ash, nearly £1k per side and near enough £500 for the 2 doors!

You probably didn't have this in mind Deb;

The best is coasting down a hill on over-run, turn the key off for 2 seconds and back on you get a backfire like a gunshot! Scared a few doing that in my time

Am reliably informed by my Dad that COUNTRYMAN's were "estates" and TRAVELLER's were "estates with wooden bits bolted on to resemble american station wagons"

Any help?

Clubmans had the wood bolted on, on Travellers the wood was structural

Morris Minor travellers were structurally timbered
Morris Mini Travellers & Austin Mini Countryman had bolted on Ash timbers although they later introduced them without the wood as well

Sorry, you are right, I think the sun has got to my brain again
