Personally, I think the little Morris Minor was considerably better than it's main competition and if it could just have been that little bit less expensive when new would have been an even stronger seller than it was.

I know I would not have the stamina to do your "round trip" in a Seven but I like to think that in the Morris it would be possible.

A wonderful achievement.

Thanks chaps. I arrived safely home 2hrs ago. The little Morris has covered 1,187 miles since leaving last Friday. I think we've both earned a good rest for the next few days. Laughing

Morris cars were renowned for their reliability. Of course they need regular servicing like all vehicles.
