the small brass pipe from the carb back to the petrol tank had totally seized up/corroded so i ran a pipe from the carb into a petrol can sitting on the front seat, health and safety would love that. grary
We have a '57 4 door saloon. Completely original, never restored, engine's never been out. It is THE most reliable car we own, and that includes two "moderns". It is also the cheapest of our cars to service - with practically all the required work able to be done in one's own garage with hand tools. As my English friends say: "you have to love a Morris Minor - it does what it says on the tin".
Yeah, front trunions collapsing, electric fuel pump packing in at any time, faulty gearboxes, rotting chassis. Today's cars are far better in every way.
Haha! Those fuel lines are bad hey, we recently restored our one - mechanical fuel pumps are amazing things! I've posted up some videos of our Morris if you want to check it out.
best place for that heap is the scrap-yard, mains are rattling, inside's a total mess and it'll be rusted out; not mention slow, uncomfortable, shite brakes; the list goes on...there's much better 'old' cars around.
It'll never let you down- great car , and 18 years just proves how hardy they are!!

I bet the chassis needs welding
Car equivalent of Honda 90.
