1972 Morris Minor Van review from UK and Ireland
"Economic sound alternative"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Petrol pump fails regularly.
Contact points closing up.
Back axle failure due to increased engine power.
General comments?
Good advertising tool.
Needs loads of TLC.
Worth spending more on sound vehicle rather than spending money on restoration.
Lots of mods available to make it keep pace with time - and traffic.
Doors always rattle.
