The same here. I had a 1953 Morris Minor with the side valve motor, split windscreen, small rear screen and the "Hilite" 7 inch Lucas headlights. The gear stick was really long and used to wobble around all over the place. Top speed was about 60 mph, wish I still had that car today.

brilliant video .. At 76 years young I have owned a few moggies , vans pickup and a wooden framed traveler .. all long gone .. but good memories . those vented discs are just a tad on the overkill for a Moggie . the skinny tyres will not have enough grip to even get them warm . I converted my 1960 ford Anglia to ford classic discs with a mk 10 jaguar brake servo . transit rear drums boy did that Ford Anglia stop on a sixpence. I cannot remember the L/H threads on the stub axle . you are so right about the master cylinder .. On one of my moggies the master cylinder was so rusted that it had become part of the chassis box . I had to replace the floorpan and the chassis section .Momories like it was yesterday .

Very much an ordinary everyday 'people's car', the economical and affordable Morris Minor was pretty ubiquitous in the UK and several other parts of the world back in the day, had a very long production run (1948-72) with three models and several versions including a saloon, an estate, a van, a pickup and a convertible. 1.6 million were made, and a good number have survived into preservation . The car has a large owners club and many specialist restorers and refurbishers here, as well as a full parts availability with a lot of after-market upgrades, so, like the classic Mini, they make a very enjoyable, practical and affordable small classic car to own. They are fairly simple and easy to work on, too. As for quality of manufacturing and reliability, for the time, I've heard they are quite good.

Sorry to be negative but I did one of these kits 20 years ago and I will never do it again for lots of reasons. Well maintained standard brakes work extremely well for normal travel, no squealing, less inertia, cheaper and more original and at the end of the day a real smooth old fashioned drive which is the reason for having the vehicle in the first place. Minors are best kept the way they were designed BUT WELL MAINTAINED, and they will surprise you as to how good and up to modern standards they are.
