Scumrun Rally oops!
Sooo, the car we were going to buy yesterday for the rally turned out to be a complete heap with a blown head gasket and holes in the sill the size of your fist.
However! with less than 7 days to go on the rally, we are not downhearted and WILL have a morris minor on the startline.
As we are carless, have a picture of a knitted cat instead.
Despite this, we are still on the scrounge for sponsorship, so if you feel enough pity for a couple of blokes who's collective mechanical knowledge of the morris Minor stretches to a few sentences, then some sponsorship would be greatly appreciated.
You can donate 100% securely here. There is a £2 minimum donation limit, but if you feel like donating more then it would be greatly appreciated :

Many thanks,
astraboy and Davespice.

As a petrol head, it is my duty to point out thie school boy error on that website:
Waaay too late. It may have been the first succesful mass production unibody car, but was by no means the first - far from it.
That accolade of the first successful mass production unibodied car belongs to the Vauxhall Ten.
And if we want to talk of mass produced body-on chassis cars, well, there are countless that preceeded the moggy, namely the Austin Seven being the main one and the varients of coachbuilts based upon the same engine/chassis.
Anyhoo; good luck.
My aunty has a restored moggy cabriolet. But I doubt she'll let you near it...it rarely ever sees the light of day
The Morris 1000 was the first ever production car to be built in Great Britain
