That Daimler is the nuts.   Shame somebody had to hammer that badge into the glove box lid but everything else is lovely.   That Minor in the background as a daily and that would be me sorted.....

Morris Minor "Listing again as the buyer had a change of heart before he even came to pick her up :( This is my awesome 1953 Morris Minor.  She's a project that I dearly wanted to complete, but sadly don't have the time."

This is very nice in a Homburg hat type way - some problems but stated 40,000 from new - these were beautifully engineered if a little eccentric with their pre-select gearbox.

 

My Rover P3 has this exact combination inlet silencer and aircleaner:

It works beautifully, the idea being if you get everything else sorted, you can't hear if the engine is running until you open the bonnet.

 

Servicing it, however, is a right royal pain.  You see, it doesn't open.

 

The idea is, as far as I've worked out, is you slosh the end with the metal gauze in a tin bucket full of paraffin until no more gunk comes out, then you pour engine oil in AND THEN CLEAN UP THE MESS YOU'VE JUST MADE.

 

If anybody has a better idea, I'd love to know, really.

They don't rust traditionally...The steel rivets under the body can result in surface rust. SnrYoof tested a 2005 model which had bubbling on the pillars.

Well Daimler had a better idea, as on the other Conquest for sale on eBay at the moment:

**Drain then take to somewhere with a degreasing tank. Spray the wire mesh with post-17481-0-67758900-1459090519_thumb.jpg

 

Not tried this method but agree it is a vilely messy job.

Fair play to him.

Despite the horrific looks, this is actually probably quite good VFM for 250 of your earth pounds

It's got the all important David BannernnaBanarnaramanananananabatman engine. But it doesn't actually work.

Bollocks they do, I used to call my Austin Maxi that and it never answered me once.

Going on holiday in an Iveco? I'd rather climb inside a concrete mixer and get pushed off the side of Ben twatting Nevis.

There's an outfit near Edinburgh selling those SA cortinas. Well I say selling I don't think they ever actually sold one as they seem to asking just above the sensible price anyone would pay for non mot'd cortina with no UK registration.
