Nice looking Morris Minor in Tower Hill

Every time I see a Morris Minor, this song springs to mind:

Juat saw this, old man bought it last week ......... was originally an Australian car then imported to UK a few years back. Has a Lexus V8 conversion with some tuning.

Cosmic alloys on the Moggy! Haven't seen a set of those in a long time!

Wishbone Ash · 08-04-2021 10:54PM

That Morris Minor is owned by a work colleague of my wife.

I think the traction avant is one of the coolest cars ever built, but that number plate and the wing mirrors, quelle horreur!

Yes, the Euro plates are ridiculous as are the mirrors which look like they came off a moped. The interior is always very untidy also - full of rubbish and car bits and pieces. (It lives around the corner from me).

Was the traction avant ever available in right hand drive?

It would appear so.

Yes, Citroen had an assembly plant in Slough where they (and later on, the DS) were built in RHD.

They look like BMW K series motorcycle mirrors.

Lovely Sera spotted in galway on Friday. Can't be too many in the country.

Saw one in Trim today!
Have seen the same one at Dundalk cars and coffee before so must be someone living in the North East area.

Bray harbour yesterday...that's a whole lotta exhausts for a Spitfire (perhaps something bigger than normal under the bonnet?)

noelf · 19-04-2021 07:32PM

NL plate I wonder did that come from www.erclassics.com ..

Right hand drive, would it not be more likely that the car and it's owner was on holidays in Netherlands to get that sticker?

RobAMerc · 20-04-2021 06:11AM

big exhaust, wire wheels, silly font on plate, classy - Is that Donald TRiUMPhs car ?

tc20 · 20-04-2021 03:37PM

couple of other recent Greystones sightings, I think the camera was a bit off with the Merc photo..

re the Spitfire above, there's also an "IRL" sticker on the rear bumper

tc20 · 23-04-2021 08:46AM

Two from Blackrock yesterday evening.
I can't recall the Mercedes model nomenclature for their cabrios - perhaps someone here can (W124 man?)
W124 = saloon
C124 = coupe
S124 = wagon
?124 = cabrio
Also, is the Rover on an old NI reg?

Duke O Smiley · 23-04-2021 08:57AM

The convertible is an A124
