I emailed some photos of my Nova to Practical Classics magazine a couple of weeks ago, and in his response, he told me that MORE Morris Minors are registered on the road in the UK than Novas!
:eek:

Thoughts?

If that's true then that's something I wouldn't have believed. I haven't seen a Morris Minor for ages.

It's true, the last figures I saw shocked me. I see a few a week living here in OAP land otherwise known as Shropshire. I think there must be 20 in Shrewsbury compared to about 10 Novas

/\lol. a guy i worked with used to work at a rover dealer. some guy came in with a trav with rotten wood. the dealer quoted £980 to do it, so he priced the wood kit, and said he'd do it for £400, cos the kit was £300. the guy said ok ill let you do it for me, so he ordered the wood kit. it came 2 days later as 14 planks of straight wood. when he asked why it wasnt shaped, they told him "you steam it to shape mate" needless to say it took him a week to fit it!!!!!

lmao. Bitch got played :d Yeah I've heard similar about them being quite the sepcialist job to reframe.

Surely there can't be more Moggie Minors on the road than Nova's though. lol
I see Nova's all the time, not just local ones either.

Always had a soft spot for moggies, probably due to the fact my dads had one sat inthe corner of the garage since before I was born.

they are truly horrible, but theres a couple of tidy restored ones near me which come out on dry weekends. I hardly ever see Novas, except for ones owned by people i know so i can believe it.
