Hi All,
I've just become the proud owner of a 63 Mk1 Morris Minivan. She's been written with my company info and already is becoming a bit of a star in our village ! She made the 200 mile round trip from Surrey down to Castle Combe last week and only a broken speedo cable to worry about. Hoping to find out the history and the original owners of the van. It was originally registered in Kent.
Cheers Al.

Hi, love that van. In answer to 12G295's question I did own a smoothy until June when my painter decided to buy it from me. Rare car and always slightly regret moving it on.I realised that 8 Minis was too much for any man. It should be the same grey when its finished too. Great advert for your business. More pics please. Cheers. Mark

Saw Phil & Frank on Saturday at Wood & Pickett in Leatherhead. He gave me the full story
He says "Hi"
He's just joined our local Mini Club - Box Hill Mini Club on Facebook. Keep an eye on there and you're bound to see him!
Cheers.
