The 1960 Morris 1000 2 door given to me arrives tomorrow morn!!
Its more than likely only good for parts,but you never know!!


And I am negotiating a deal for 2 of the stash of 30+ CARS.
A 1976 Stag 3lt original engine,manual/od+hardtop and 1966 Morris 1000 conv,more info on these 2 if/WHEN a deal is done!
Both bodily sorted and painted!! :D
Morris has a new full leather seat,door card trim kit,new hood and wool carpets,new minilites with tyres.
Both need time and TLC,and probably a few more £££'s to complete,but the hard work is done!


That lot should keep me bust for a while!!! :LOL: :LOL:
 
There's no helping some :LOL:

Moggy is better than some you see out and about :)

The others look good too :wink:
 
The grey minor is bodily straight with a few rust niggles,but its crossmember and a few other area's are rusty.
A good prod and poke tomorrow will reveal all.
Red leather seats have had covers on from new,are bumrubworn,but not split or saggy,just losing their red colour a bit,and carpets are home made but do the job.
 
Nice one Dave, :D
look forward to hearing more. I've always liked the stags and my boy is currently working on his 2 door 64 minor.
 
I don't know how you do it... I really don't... I've dreamt of falling on a horde like that.. I wouldn't mind that stag, though... Lucky B**tard... :D
 
Just for those of you who are feeling a little green, :wink: heres a pic or 2 of the stash!
Didnt spot it before but theres a mid 50's MGTF under cover and an MG YA!!!
Also a Ferrari,alfa's, fiat's,MGBGT's,MG magnettes,2 x P4, P5b, Herald conv,10+ morris 1000's etc outside!

 
Wow, that's incredible, never mind the cars, I'd kill just for the garage !

P.s. I'll have the ferrari please, £200 scrap value ?
 
As expected the rust is pretty terminal,,BUT,,, :D ive freed off the eng and clutch and it starts and drives up and down the ramp,and sounds really sweet,but no brakes! :D

The ferrari pictured is actually one of the few very well executed Alfa based replicas,was nice till it blew up and mark bought it cheap,he never did fix it!
 
What a collection, a Bristol Beaufighter, and is that a Fulvia Zagato in front of the bookcase? I guess the Calthorpe is the No5 car?
Awesome finds.


John.
 
At least I will have a nice supply of good s/h parts and a running eng/box if anything is needed for the blue convertible if/when the deal is done!
 
Well done on the temporary additions, Dave. The grey minor looks very tidy. I used to run a convertible, but I can't visualise the cross member you're talking about. Have you a picture?

From memory it'll be where the torsion beams mount roughly where the seats are, I remember replacing the whole thing on my friends car.

Thats the fella!!
Missing a good 1ft either end incl jacking point,also floors both sides near sill edges,front inner arches where it meets floor and front n/s chassis rail!
It is probably very doable,but with the amount of minors out there and the price you can buy one,it would either have to be a very loved family member,low miles and exceptionally good in all other areas,or a really tasty reg number to make it worth while doing!
I will not be doing any more with it,until I have the convertible,and see what I may need.
Its possible I will sell it on complete as an ideal project for a classic car novice wanting a 1st resto to play with.
 
Blue convertible sold to another,but found out it wasnt a genuine one,so a bit of luck really! :)
Still got to see him about the Stag again,and will go with cash in my pocket to wave at him as MONEY TALKS!!!
And as I no longer need it for spares I have sold the freebie grey 2 door morris 1000. :D
Jensen sold via Ebay in 13 minutes,the Morris took 3 hrs! :LOL:
On to the next!! :)
Got a 1 owner very low miles 1985 TVR 280i, locked in garaged since owner died in 1995 in the pipeline and recently spotted and sussing out a 1965 TR4a!
