Morris Minor Buyers Guide (Rust Finding)

[@pkdjsolo]

Nice video, just bought a '71 Minor and your video was really helpful in checking for rust. Thankfully mine is not too bad apart from front bump stops

This was really useful thanks. Had a look at a prospect over the weekend. Looked OK on the outside! It was parked on a steep driveway and I noticed that the drivers door was sagging a a bit which made me suspicious of the door pillar. Looked ok on the photos when parked up on the flat. It's difficult when you can't really start poking around with a screwdriver with the owner watching. There were other tell-tale signs too which all added up to a decision to walk away sadly.

Very useful and informative, a really helpful and honest review of the area's to look out for. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent video. Look forward to seeing you carrying out repairs on the rusted parts. Thank you for taking time to share.

Thanks a lot Dermot. Very helpful.

Thanks, good video. I’ve been considering a moggy for a while, but I’m not familiar with them, and this video is a great help. Replacing or fabricating some panels doesn’t phase me, as I was brought up on welding up mostly 70’s + 80’s cars. Hopefully later this summer I can have a look around for one, after I’ve got a few other things out of the way.

Hi That's what I was hoping for, to help people find the right car when buying.hope you manage to find a decent one.good luck.

Hi Dermot, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. For myself I've only purchased my traveller a year ago. I've so much to learn, and it's good to see where potential problems may lie. Thanks again. I've liked and subscribed.👍

[@dermotmurray4658]

My knowledge leaves a lot to be desired, I'm just learning as I go along. I have been busy with work so it's been a while since I was last in the garage but I feel it's time to get back in there.👍

Maybe some day they will manufacture new Morris Minors . Far better than a lot of the new cars.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Cheers for this video its been very helpful :)

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Good video , I think the Morris was designed with rust in mind!

[@dermotmurray4658]

They were built at a different time, I doubt they even considered rust being an issue.

[@bengray6219]

Hi mate thanks for the really informative video I'm 19 and really want to own a Moggy, so trying to learn as much as possible before buying one. 👍

[@dermotmurray4658]

Hi Ben Hope you found the video useful, if you need any information just ask.I was once in your position and struggled, I will assist in any way I can.Hope you find your own car soon.👍

@@dermotmurray4658 Thank you, will do

[@noneck3099]

wow...what's the story with this?.....nice paint job is hiding a nightmare!

[@dermotmurray4658]

This particular car looks very presentable from outside,I knew what it was like underneath from a few simple checks,be wary if going to buy a Minor they can deceive.Hence why I made the video.Hope it helps.👍

[@noneck3099]

@@dermotmurray4658 too late!...bought one yesterday...mine is a very rust free project someone started 20-30 years ago, and then left in a dry barn....primed and different colours tried out on it, looks like a clown car, but able to see all it's secrets...so you bought this knowing the issues, and just jump in and fix it?...you've done a few of these i'm guessing?

AAAAAAaaaaaaaargh that's not a good vid to watch before going to sleep.
