That numberplate must be worth a fortune........

Depends on who you buy your showplates from…

ha ha ha yes cost me £12.00 the road plates are pressed metal "223 YUG"

I thought that it was a genuine Channel Islands plate of the period. D'oh!

Lol unfortunately I can only make the yellow and white modern ones.

£10 each or £17.50 a pair. Just incase anyone needs some either fully legal or showplates lol.

Gonna be a great day at old warden bedfordshire tomorrow NSRA custom & street ro show, this car will be there.

NSRA Super nationals at Old Warden in Bedfordshire 31st July 2011

Interesting conversion,and fascinated on the build,but I do prefer RWD. The front wheels are only there to do the steering I've also looked at fwd cars,and worked on my dads fwd late Rover,and to change the timing belt was not straight forward as my Ford Sierra. Most fwd need the engine dropping to do belts/chain.

Thanks guys, building up a van in the same way now, see minor van progress thread, I would like to point out that the original vehicles were wrecked beyond paractical repair / restoration so no purists should be upset ha ha

Nope, you got me, what on earth does that word mean?

That's the great thing about the Minor (OK, one of the great things); there are so many of the things remaining that nobody, even the most anally retentive trailer quean-owning concours contender, would be offended by your work. I've been to quite a few shows that were hosted by the Minor club and what always struck me about those lovely people is just how enthusiastic they are about anything Morris Minor-shaped.
Where certain one model or one make clubs (naming no names as we don't want that nonsense starting again) are incredibly precious in their dealings with those who dare to fit seat belts, radial tyres or, and may God forbid; decent seats to their cars, Minor owners tend to embrace such modifying as the essential part of the old car scene that it must be if we're to stay ahead of the game.

Good on you, you've created some unique bits of engineering. That's a good thing, just ask forum member "Bubs" if you don't believe me.
