My Old Moggie!
« on: 18 July 2012, 11:34:33 »
I bought this Morris Minor in Mallorca in 1994 for £400. I then registered in 1996 in Birmingham.
I had to buy and fit a new soft top, steering wheel, brake cylinder, radiator. All bought from a company in Bristol. She always attracted interest outside whichever saloon I happened to be in.
She was the only MM on the island at that time, but I have seen another green one recently, owned by a Swiss guy.
I eventually sold her to an avid car restorer here in Mallorca for a lot more than I paid for her. :y :y
Should have kept it really. :'( :'(

I'm always last in the office in the morning but I make up for it by leaving first.
