    That's awesome, and looks like my old traveller. I miss that car, I should really go and buy it back.

    With that much detail, those are probably indecent photographs of a Minor. Good thing you can claim that they're artistic.

    This may be the first car I ever rode in. My father overheated his while racing a colleague in Ireland and it seized while he was coming down a hill into town. He stopped and got water from a garage, poured it in, waited an hour, then started it and drove off with a clattery but operating motor.

    Scary to say, but this is what the PT Cruiser could have been. Simple, utilitarian. And a real truck, not a Neon platform with a retro truck-like body. I swear, some people don't need all the bells and whistles of modern technology. Give me A/C and a good stereo to play my classic rock and I'm a happy camper.

    You can see so much pavement, it looks like the wee engine is just hovering in the engine bay.

    And who knows, maybe the Lucas electrics will work perfectly ok with a matching Lucas battery.

    In any case, this guy (extra props for Dai Hard) really has got a fabulous ride here.

    The English drink warm beer because they have Lucas refrigerators. The snail bumper sticker is entirely appropriate for the performance. I hope the buyer enjoys his toy - I don't envy him one bit, nor do I envy the fun of replacing and upkeep of the wood trim. This one is from near the end of the Minor's lifespan (1971). Hopefully, BMC/British Leyland learned how to screw these things together decently by then - it had only 21 years of practice...

    With 90 miles per hour printed on the gauge face, two thirds of that speedometer could be considered to be New Old Stock.

    This car shows what was seriously wrong with the British Auto Industry. It looks, and is probably engineered, about like the cars the United States made in the 1930s and 40s.

    I would say that this guys best bet is to get this thing registered in a state that it is easy register a car in, like Alabama. Then a year later "move" to California. Wouldn’t that be easier?

    Nice price, even though it doesn't really make sense to buy a ratty old English car for that much. We're thinking with the heart, not the pocket book here.


    Now if it was in crappy shape and cost half as much, I would say turn it into a gasser. But that's what I say about all cars from this era.

    It's a perfect little car, what the hell. Nice price.


    Too bad our Government Motors Corporation won't take some styling cues from classics and lose the jellybean all-of-a-piece styling for some fenders/wings and shapely hoods/bonnets and trunks/boots.

    "We all know that old British cars have not been proven to be the most durable,"


    Good sir! I take great umbrage at this comment! It insults all my 1964 Hornet stands for! My car's old, rattly but can crack 100mph and off roads well.


    Flippant disregard to solidness of my automacar.

    @85_GN: That kid could seriously do with less twinkies and more ACTUAL sunshine. Actual sunshine, of course, generally coming with exercise.


    Though, I guess his friends could roll him down the hill... I bet his coefficient of friction isn't that high at all once he starts sweating profusely from moving a greater distance than the fridge is from the couch.
