If I ever get a classic, this is the car I’ll get. My dad had a traveller at the end of the sixties, and it was always my favourite. I’d want a brake upgrade though.

Great vid, as they always are! Would you be able to do a vid of why it is so common for classics to break down on "long" journeys over there please? It seems strange tat people over there are so hesitant to drive distance in their cars for fear of breakdowns. I have no hesitation jumping into the car and driving thousands of kilometres in my Minor over here in Aus. I drove mine right around Australia, 24,000 kilometres, I had one flat tyre, though it held enough air to limp into the closest town to get a repair and I had to get the clutch replaced, due to overfilled gearbox oil contaminating the friction plate (though the car made it a few thousand kilometres with the slipping clutch to the mechanic). Perhaps it would be good to see a vid on what the standard at-home maintenance practices over there and what some Minor mechanics see as the most breakdown item there. Just a thought

This is quite funny. I've lived in Phoenix Arizona for 23 years now. Just emerged from a summer where we had a solid month with the temperatures above 45 degrees every day. And I'm looking at all you lot in that miserable grey drizzle and thinking, I'd love to be there in that. What great weather for a car show. All you need is some wet weather gear and it's all good. At least you can go outside and not melt. My mother had a 62 Morris, for about a decade when I was a kid though it wasn't a traveller and if I ever lived in England, especially in a quaint English villiage, I think I'd want one for sure. Great show Steph.

Somewhere in my storage unit I have Popular Mechanics' Guide to Imported (to the USA) Cars from 1959, it praised the Minor for its' handling, direct gearshift, rack-and-pinion steering and fuel economy but pointed out the Fiat 1100 had better brakes and its' wagon was all steel with 5 doors despite having a column shift with a learning curve (gear positions laid out backwards to how Detroit was doing it), and the gold standard/runaway bestseller VW Beetle was better-backed but had no wagon, no 4-door model and could get squirrelly at the limit (but not as badly so as the rear-engine Renaults).

I love Morris Minors and would say to any person thinking of buying a classic car to consider a Minor. If you can find a good Traveller then go for it. Don't be put off by the wood you can buy a ready made kit though I don't think it is cheap. Having said that, one word of warning if someone says 'oh I can make that' do be sure they know what they're doing I have seen on TV one case of a complete disaster and the person being left out of pocket with just a pile of wood. Thanks Steph I hope you have dried out by now! 👍👍

Another great video Steph , it’s amazing seeing so many Minor’s and Traveler’s in one place. I remember seeing an old episode of Wheeler dealers and they restored a woody , the wooden frame was rotten and they found a man who was able to remake the Ash Frame, and he had all the jigs required for the job. If anyone is in need of a replacement Ash Frame, try finding this episode and hopefully he’s still in business.

Another excellent video Steph, I do enjoy your uploads. I did have a Morris Minor 1963 original B reg. I owned it in the 70's Black with red interior and a joy to drive. The problem I had with it was the rear spring brackets came through the floor and I couldn't afford to have it repaired at the time properly. I bodged it and px'd t for a Cortina. My aunt ALWAYS had Morris Travellers and I have fond memories of them. They were always bought new, always white and always with a red interior. She could have afforded anything to be honest but always stuck with her Travellers. Moggies have their own unique engine and exhaust sounds which is strangely comforting when you hear it.

The Traveller was never officially sold in Australia but I've seen at least one here on the road. I was at music festival in the small town of Maldon in rural Victoria and parked in the street was a neat, but not showroom shiny, Morris Traveller. It apparently is owned by a local shopkeeper who I didn't get a chance to speak to the owner. My GUESS is that it may have originally come from New Zealand where to Traveller was sold.

I really like the aqua traveller and the rat rod saloon, opposite ends of the classic spectrum and yet both cars I want to own. A Minor is an excellent no trouble classic to have, so basic and yet you can easily alter the running gear to keep up with modern traffic without losing the "Moggy" essence.

Wont be any classics left on the road if you have your way, way to go on your bit in the paper. You drive a morris, easy to get spares, some cars are far more difficult to find spares and i had to wait 2 years to find an engine. So your suggestion is that we all do mot's , fail on something like emmissions because the engines worn, and then scrap the car because you cannot afford a 4k engine rebuild. Yeah great advise there

OK so they were relatively New cars, (and maintained by the Army) but in the mid-late 70's I used to drive Minor travellers all over West Germany and they used to keep up with traffic on autobahns and other main roads. There is no reason at all why one that has been well maintained or well renovated would not do the same. Squaddies didn't hold back, we gave them some stick when needed. They did OK.......they were replaced by Minis and then Chevettes...and sometimes Sherpa vans.

You....We are so right.......they think because it is old that they can only drive it close to home. (and yet some of them have renewed every bush and spring, brake and brake line, in theory some of them should be better than new?). Back in the day, people did go off to Europe in all manner of what we call classics these days.....Myself I am guilty of buying old cars and driving them mad distances......Must have been around 1977 I bought an old Rover 80 (thats the P4 but with the 4 cylinder Landrover engine and overdrive) I loaded up my mum and we drove from Oxfordshire to the overnight ferry to Hook of Holland and then down to Frankfurt to visit my sister for the weekend........previous to that I had bought a D Reg (?) Morris Oxford and drove that to North Rhine Westphalia and then on to Frankfurt again to visit sis......I bought it for 40 quid and then sold it for 200 Deutsch Marks. Scary thing is all I did was check the oil on the Rover and top it up.....on the Morris same but I topped up the lever arm shockers too.!!!😄🤣@@idriveaclassic
