Driving from Barnsley to Woodall services for a bit of a motorway test run. This shows from leaving the services, driving south one junction then heading north again. Passed what looked like a Hillman Super Minx at around 9:40 !

Thrilling and very evocative as reminds me of an uncle who often drove his Minor at these speeds but even he did worry slightly about his big-ends in the 1098 engine at warp 75 !

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

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. ;-)

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.

The car was originally a 948 so it has a lower ratio , it's a 1098 engine now (swapped before my ownership)

@c.s-crossings6 ай бұрын
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!)

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
