Morris Minor night time drive to Wakefield
มุมมอง 155ปีที่แล้ว
One of the first times out this year after completing a disc brake upgrade, and new leaf springs. A short drive from Royston to Wakefield earlier this week - despite what the time stamp says on the dashcam :) Apologies for the dirty windscreen and the rattly audio, but figured might still be of interest.

    thanks for the little ride, pure enjoyed it! laugh it that car has seen a lot of models come and go over the decades, and its still more reliable and better built etc than anything that was on the A1 with it.

    I don’t think I’d be pushing it that far. My 850 engined Reliant has slightly higher gearing and I’ll go to 60 in that, which is 3500rpm, quite enough. A Minor is a car I’ve wanted for years though!

    Hello, I bought two cars from Duncan Hamilton who had a garage in Bagshot in the late 70s. One was an A40, and the other was a Morris Minor. I paid £28 for the pair. The A40 was too rusty for the MOT test, but it had a perfect balance engine. Whether it had been 'blueprinted' or just lucky, I do not know. I think it belonged to the secretary at Hamilton's garage. The Minor however did pass the MOT but the engine used a bit of oil. The plan, (there always is a plan isn't there!) , was to swap over the engine. It never happened. Anyway I was doing a contract job down in Farnborough and I was living in West London so a blast down the M3 was required twice a day. The Minor was a superb car in every respect. It did this with the speedometer pretty much off the clock no problem at all. The oil consumption however provided a very elegant solution to gallons of old oil in my garage that had come from oil changes from other cars that I had had. I would not use the last inch or two in the can when I topped up the Minor. I do however have to apologise to other road users of the M3 for the fine application of oil on the road as most seemed to leak out judging by the road surface where it was parked. Happy days. It lasted a year until replaced by a Reliant Kitten estate. That is another story!! Needless to say, the Kitten has a power to weight ratio to embarass Porche owners in the 0 to 20 traffic light drag! and I did! Happy motoring to you all. Ray Peto

      No she has a standard 1098 , single carb - the diff is a lower ratio as was originally a 948 car, so does rev quite high at motorway speeds.

      From what I've seen online, the absolute maximum is about 73mph. However, you can comfortably cruise down the motorway at 50/60 in one (though as you can tell it's a bit loud!)

    Do you favour a particular brand of oil? Or use any additives? I used to drive my 1098 at 75-80 mph for quite long periods - it never BROKE the engine, but I believe that I forced an oil seal somewhere by overfilling the sump, in my efforts to be zealous about having a good quantity of oil in there before such journeys. I'd recommend to be scrupulous about checking the dipstick when the car is standing perfectly level and has had plenty and plenty of time for all the oil to have dropped into the sump. And then do NOT fill it even one jot above the full mark. ;-)

    Here in America, driving on the main highways I would see, whst I call " packs" of cars all racing as a group. I stay away from. They like to pass each other and like a game. If one car loses control in the pack. I use to let them pass me, even slow down to get them on their way

  • @rodharrap873
    @rodharrap873 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Prompted fond memories of 1969, when I traveled often from Brighton in Sussex to Leeds (or Bradford) past Ferrybridge Power Station. The sound, especially the engine, is so memorable, but the video drives like a more powerful (relative) later version of 2CV. I know they have a motor racing Championship for 2CVs. The cylinder barrels are skimmed to raise compression ratio of 600 cc engine, a new Cam with a Weber Carburetor (Solex Carbs not good new and now all worn out). Lowered Suspension, good cornering speed with 54 BHP makes for close racing. I would love to drive any 2CV with 54 BHP. 'Motor' or 'Autocar' magazine had a 2CV with a tiny Turbo - eventually the electrics that were too close to the Turbo burst into flames burning the car out completely on side of Motorway. That Turbo 2CV was much missed by the magazine's staff.
