You are quite allowed to talk to me and others about Teardrops and other bigger vans.
Reason....
Somewhere in the rule book it says..Quote " Morris Minor Forum with any and all attachments "
Sub Section ...Engin changes...
Sub sub section any other thing that can be hung off a Morris ..
SO in my book that means if ya stick on a TOWBAR any thing that is attached to the said towbar is hung off a Morris!!!!!!!

Reddo,
I have nottice that your located at West Barnsley, Just for your information the Morris Owners Club Hunter Region will be having their Rego day on June 16th from 9am to 12pm at Mortons Garage Barnsley. If you were interested you can show up, There will be plenty of Minors there. Also if you were interested in making your own towbar you probably could draw a few pans or get measurement as a few Minors there will have towbars.

Hi Andrew
Yep . can see Mortons from where i live.
Johns was the first port of call when i got the car home and started searching for towbars.
He gave me Errols phone number as well as garry Loves number out at Kilaben Bay.
He also mentioned the club rego day to me.
I feel that someone in the club will know the car and maybe give me a bit of history on it... who built it and when.
It aint no show car but it has got all the good bits and just needs a bit of TLC to tidy it back up.
I am taking the Holden uteand TD caravan to the wintersun festival at Kirra beach next week and over the long weekend. should be home the middle of the week before the meeting. I will make an effort to tidy things up a bit around the red robin and drop over for a squizz at the other MM's.
Thanks for the reminder
Reddo

Hi Scott
Yeah mate.
We have copped a hell of a flogging down here with the floods. Luckily the morris only got wet on her underbelly.
I have a collection of old pommy motorbikes ,a 1961 holden ute and 2 vintage plywood caravans....but no boats!!!!.
The bikes and 1 van copped a drowning and only the registered bike is insured.
I need to get the other bikes apart and dried / repaired before the flood water stuffs the mechanicals completely. The longer i take the more damage i will have to fix.
I had about half a metre of water through my garage. water came up to the floorboards of the house and then dropped away ... thank christ.
I removed all the carpet and underfelt out of the morry, washed and shampood the seats. Gave it an oil change and shes happy.
I took it over to mortons the other day when the newcastle club had their rego day. Thought someone may have known the car. Apparently not a local car. possibly from Gosford area.
Unfortunately i am working on the theory of "last one hired first one fired".
Too many toys and not enough "hospital funds" to maintain them all.
Hoping for something just over $3500 .
meanwhile 45 people watching on ebay and 3 coming to check the car out this weekend.
Cheers
all
Reddo

Sorry to hear of your woes Reddo. Let's hope the weather forecast for the next couple of days doesn't make things worse.
At least you're OK & I hope everything gets sorted out for the best for you.

Hi All.
Sad day in history. Car sold last night on ebay. ( $5200) It will be heading to Kellyville in sydney shortly.
Will still drop in on the site occassionally and keep in touch with you guys.
Hopefully will buy another Morry when we get things sorted out around here.
Regards
Reddo

At least the Morry was a good investment & I hope you're back on your feet with the rest of your collection soon.
