Josh_gsy Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 a morris minor, £50 bills! supposidly road worthy. if this is good enought it means i might be able to keep the cortina as i wont need so much money for a car! so what do you reckon is a morris minor cool enough?
FredTransit Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Cool? Weeeell, no. But you can't go wrong with the £50 price tag, so i would say go for it.
john_3.0s Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 would be worth more than that for scrap and a lot more than that broken for bits so go for it my man. they are a little clunkly to drive in comparison to the 70s fords but quite fun none the less. my mrs one slides well on the cross-plys and you can even get a bit of axle tramp of the lights
pauln Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 As a Morris Minor owner (please forgive me, I have tried to sell it) i can tell you that if it does,nt have an MOT there is a good chance that you will have to throw a few hundred at it to get it through. They hide loads of rust under those kick plates and the suspension mounts (and other suspension pick up points) rust badly especially in a coastal climate. Concentrate your funds on the cortina.
geoffersmasher Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 there cool if you ask me http://www.carcentric.com/radMMrooflines.htm do it do it
hotrodholty Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 mate drop it on a set of wolfies and you cant go wrong
pauln Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 there cool if you ask me http://www.carcentric.com/radMMrooflines.htm do it do it This is mine if I can't sell it x-flow or zetec, type 9, english axle s ierra discs and rostyles. ca'nt afford the roof chop.
geoffersmasher Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 there cool if you ask me http://www.carcentric.com/radMMrooflines.htm do it do it smart there was one i saw on ebay which was serious rat look primer grey with the craziest roof chop it was gorgeous ive always wanted a hillman imp This is mine if I can't sell it x-flow or zetec, type 9, english axle s ierra discs and rostyles. ca'nt afford the roof chop.
bmxdave Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Cool as mate. They always make me smile when i see one out and about. And theres a few knocking about with a V8 too so theres always room for improvement in the future. How fun would it be with one of those, complately standard apart from a Rover Vitesse SD1 Twin plenum V8 and 5 speed box? Dangerous, bood bloody good fun and an evil sleeper
Pipster007 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 I saw a Moggie pickup in a driveway today, and I quite fancied it for myself And then a few houses later a saw a blue plaque on it showing that it was the house that Noel Coward was born in

pauln Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 I have restored 5 Morris minors and when I came to do the Cortina I was pleasantly surprised how easy ( and cheap) it was compared to the minor. I used to own this one 1300cc type9 Ital axle 13s but sold it next door when i got the cortina. Next door fitted that grille and spoiler which i rather like. It's also got spax dampers all round, coil overs on the front and now 15" alloys.

trispage Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 They are cool as and at the end of the day you cant go wrong for £50, if it all goes to a ball of chalk you will get more for the bits.
Josh_gsy Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 well first off it doesnt have to pass an MOT in guernsey as we do have them. As for rust well it's only used as a runner, so i dont mind! prob phone the guy today and view it tonite or tommorrow if it aint raining.

If you don't need to worry about an MOT its most likely worth a punt. By the way do you know this man who i photographed jumping off a rock on your island last year. geoffersmaher a couple just for you. He pranged the drivers side wing and decided to start up a rat look.
