| There is a Morris Minor's Owners Club. Their address is
Jane White,
127-129 Green Lane,
Derby.
DE1 1RZ.
Be careful if you're considering buying one over here, you'll find that
they don't last anywhere near as well in their native country as they
do in Australia! You've probably already noticed they're aren't that
many on the roads. :-)

*The* place that specializes in renovating Morris Minors is in Bath. They
bought up a lot of the old moulds for the tinware etc...
It is housed in an old mill down on the river....I could take you there, I just
can't remember their name :-(

| I've skimmed a couple of car mags, and can't find the address of the
Morris Minor Centre in Bath. I've used them in the past and found them
helpful, if a little expensive.
I did find the following, none of whom I have any experience of:
Tom Roy, Cleveland 0642-710703
Alan James, Truro 0872-70210
Minor Developments, Kidderminster 0562-747718
Morris Minor Parts Centre, London 081-543-2264
Mr. Grumpy's Morris Minors, Oxford 0865-326828

| The Morris Minor place in Bath is;
The Morris Minor Centre Ltd,
Avon House,
Lower Bristol Road,
Bath.
Tel Bath 315449
A friend of mine used them and was partly satisfied. Cost a lot though
which is to be expected with any restoration. Cheaper to buy a new car
which would be more reliable. The moggie has some charm though so long
as you only want it to do the shopping.

The Morris Minor Centre also has a workshop/sales office at Inkpen,
just to the west of Newbury.

| Anyone know what size frost plug fits the Morris 1098 engine (see
1370.) The original is lying in a ditch somewhere.

I think you'll find it's called a "core plug", and if you ring one of
the numbers given earlier, credit card in hand, they will post you one.

MINOR REVIVAL
Plans for a new Morris
Minor car were unveiled

a factory in Sri Lanka
with a retired diplomat
to produce parts.
An assembly line for a
new design is planned
for the mid-1990's.
