Love that Jim. Wonder what it's like uphill though!

Yeah I was wondering that. It looks cute but a total liability practically I would think and you would need to be proper handy to keep it on the road.

Aye! Imagine driving that up the Kirkstone in a hooley with two miles of traffic behind you.

Dunno Barry. If it's been well looked after it should be pretty reliable, there ain't too much to go wrong with them compared to modern cars.

About as basic as it gets, plugs n points or it may have been converted to catholicism, front wheels had a tendency to fall off.

I was more thinking of the body work and structure.

Compared to what we have available now I think it's bloody awful, however when the chap built it there wasn't much available I'm sure he got a lot of pleasure out of it so good for him .

Front wheels only fell of because as normal folk did not grease the swival/king pins, same as skoda estelles.

I have some good and bad memories of the Moggy minor. I smoked my first spliff in the back of bright gold moggy van on my 18th Birthday with my mad girlfriend. That was awesome. I borrowed a Moggy Traveller to go pick up my Australian girlfriend from Ullswater where my boat was in my early 20s to bring her all the way back to Darlo to a summer ball only to find she had moved to Paris and the feckin thing wouldnt go over 50 all the way there and all the way back and me and my pals once went Morris minor bonnet sliding in the snow out in the sticks being towed by my MK2 Escort van and my mate got carried away and put it through a hedge. The bonnets did make great sledges though.
