Looks like a great event. Good to hear from the owners too. I bet the guy with the wind up one was well chuffed you complimented his wood as well! Loving the funky background music too
Thank you sooo much for that. I could not attend, but seeing all those lovely Moggys was a tonic. I restored two (took five years) a MM series four door OKA 432 called Uncle Albert and Trevor the Traveller I put a 1300 Ital engine, five speed box and disc brakes. The thing is you only look after a Moggy for the next person.. Love your work x
I have always enjoyed these lovely cars , I,ve wanted to be a part of this movement since I was a boy , the traveller is such a useable car , unfortunately I bought a duff two saloon thirty yes ago so opted for a Mk2 Ford Cortina automatic
When I was a youngster at least two neighbours were Minor owners, and Morris Minors were everywhere, they even still being built in my lifetime (feeling old again!). There is just something about them, they have a friendly appearance, are so simple and easy to fix, just beautiful cars.
Nice to see so many Morris Minors in one place and to hear from some of the owners. I love the wind up car it really is a 'wind up' if the kids thought it was real, great fun. There were so many travellers, there must have been a good proportion of the surviving 'population'. The one with the door in the rear side and the 'tailgate' was interesting I thought. Richard is right whilst I used to see the GPO and Post Office vans around all the time once they were 'sold off they were 'stripped' and you may not have known their origins. Great video Steph thank you.👍👍
As a child the sound of the vans were everywhere much like today if you stop and listen you hear aircraft. Just about all trades had one buzzing around.
some of my best days were spent over here in Canada on excursions with my grandfather in his series of Minors. He was a maintenance fanatic and one of my first big boy jobs was cleaning the spark plugs with a wire brush on their weekly regapping. Days to treasure.
For me, this is my favourite classic car channel. Whenever I see a car on eBay or CarAndClassic and I don’t know what it is (eg triumph 2000) I come to this wonderful little channel. It also helped me decide what my first car was going to be! (Austin Healey Sprite). Thanks Steph, keep up the great work.
Steve said about the Engineer's van that there was "no heater, and you had to open the windscreen to demist. It must have been absolutely Baltic". Coincidentally, earlier today I saw a video about Northern Ireland English, and one of the guys on the video used the word "Baltic" to refer to "cold". The really funny thing was that he said he was a teacher in Latvia for a few years, and the students there said "Hey, it's always Baltic here!". So funny!
Hi Steph another great video from you. I have always thought that the Mogggy Traveller is one classy car. Some wonderful stuff there which adds to the ambience. I wonder how old the oldest moggy is that was there and how young the youngest one is.
My first two cars were Morris Minors, both 1958's when I was in High School in the 60's didn't pay more than $200 for both of them, being a high school student upkeep and repairs where how I learned to be a certified mechanic untill retirement!
After not owning a moggy for 9 years thinking about getting back into it fancy a convertible but after owning a 2 door will it feel loose and suffer poor scuttle shake, my 2 door handled beautifully 😀
I had a 1961 convertible, and yes there was quite alot of scuttle shake, flapping canvas and door gaps that opened up when you jacked it up! It wasn't the best of examples, tbh. Quite good fun though, on a nice day.

Great video. Really enjoyed the GPO vans.

Hi Steph Absolutely GR8 video .Dorset Branch always organise and put on a good show for Moggyfest just love it. See you at Gaydon .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wonder where they got those wicker folding picnic chairs from. Think i need a pair of those for my Jowett.
Growing up through the 1950s & 60s, a Moggy was always a Morgan. Morris Minors were Jelly-Moulds!

They ranged from first year of production to last! So 48-71 x

How do Morgan and Morris Minor owners reconcile the fact, that both of their cars are referred to as Moggies?
Morgan are outnumbered, so Morris won 😂
A lot of videos about minors,not many on oxfords and oxfords series 2
Why are they called Moggies? Post war a Moggy was a Morgan. At what point did the nomenclature change?
It's just nickname that caught on 🤷♀️
I understood a moggy was a Morgan not a Morry Minor
Steph I think @1:09 you are missing something
And @13:40
Probably just a Minor issue 😂
Is it on every year
