2023 European Road Trip - Part 1

The first of three videos about driving my Morris Minor 1000 Traveller to Italy, then on to the Ardeche. This video covers the mundane part of the drive from home to the Swiss border, via France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany.

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

Wow - I would love to make this trip in my Moggy

[@fixingassets]

You should! At least look into Minors on Tour with the MMOC... this was just an extended route to get to this in the Ardeche!

[@pentagrammotorsport]

I’m sure the autobahn is just as scary with three times the power!

[@fixingassets]

It probably is!

[@bobspeller2225]

Great trip, how did the Morris manage the work load? Happy Ne Year. Bob

[@fixingassets]

Happy new year! Morris managed well apart from finishing off the front brake pads.

@@fixingassets Ah, so you've got discs on the front? Is it still the 1098 engine? And the 4 speed box? And the standard diff? (Sorry if you've told all these things before in earlier videos I haven't seen!)

[@steveclews6557]

Great stuff Ian. What was your top speed ??

[@fixingassets]

I think I managed 80 at one point but tbh I was trying to keep at 65. I did a prolonged period at 80 in the Beetle last year and it's still broken!

[@thierrycalandre2493]

but when you say 80 or 65 this is in miles/hour ?
