1966 Morris Minor review from UK and Ireland
"Ever wondered how to enjoy driving again?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Failing battery - I should get another, but I'll just keep charging it!
Knocking from front and wheel shudder at speed.
General comments?
I've uprated this car with all sorts of stuff to make the best of its capabilities. Considering it's a 60 year old design it's astonishing how easily it copes with modern driving conditions. Some things you can't change however and it's demisting capability and noise levels are dreadful although the heater works much quicker than any modern car I've owned.
Not the cheapest form of motoring despite some people's comments, but charming, fun and (in the dry months at least) a wholly practical, charming alternative to a soul-less eurobox.
