I think its always good to give a classic a good run down a duel carriage way every so often

I got my 1962 with 948cc engine to 72 mph the other day - won’t do that again - almost shaked it to pieces hahahaha

A two door blue Morris Minor thousand always brings a smile to my face because I think of my old mum and her one

Brave man. No belt and rib crusher steering wheel!

Love the little Morris, Love the outro tune from Bottom as well

Same as asking an OAP to run a Mini marathon !!!!😂👍

A magnificent English car I always enjoyed driving them and goes faster than you think had a burn up with a ford escort I was in the works van you can guess who won of course I did and the Atype engine outlast the ford escort every day thankyou

Nothing like the sound of an A series engine getting a good work out. Good work!

Saving up to get a morris minor of my own, it will be my second car, I'm 18 so the small engine helps with the insurance

Hi Guy's this was made last weekend. Phebe seems to run a bit smother Since the run down the dual carriage way. I would not recommend anyone to do it with their Morris Minors. Thanks for watching 🤓👍

Wow enjoyed that. Thought it would do 70 . Thanks for sharing.

Took my dads Morris Traveller along a fast road on the Isle of Wight called Military rd in the early 70s, when I was 17, just managed to get 75MPH before having to hit the brakes for a S bend,

Well done Phebe. Very rarlely do I push my little MM to those kinds of velocities!

I rarely push my 2020 Honda Jazz beyond 60!

That’s great gear change

Not bad phebe did well cleared the cob web Cobwebs out 👍

When I engage warp speed in mine the needle on the speedometer swings wildly between 50 and 70.

I can see that the Ford Type 9 gearbox from the Sierra is a worthwhile upgrade on these. It would really increase the usability. By the way, the official top speed is 78 so you did it!

Morris minor is a magnificent little car. I have a 5 speed 1983 Capri, 2 litre, this gem will hit 130 mph.

It's a nice car to do 65 miles an hour on the motor Way. But really this car prefer the back roads. What's like to drive it in very heavy rain wind screen wipers do the job?

1. shaking steering is wheel balance and wear in steering assembly. 2 engine and gearbox rattle is bad engine/gearbox mounts and the engine steady bar may need adjusting. I owned a minor 1098. i now have a 1275 MG Midget (Same gearbox) 3.9 differential which you may benefit from. oh and worn propshaft joints

Do you have an engine steady bar? I'm wondering if the vibration would increase or decrease if you removed it. (Recently replaced mine, although I've read people toss it)

Hope the plod aren't subscribed 😜

So what this means is there is no need to own anything other than a 1098 morris minor. You can break the speed limit even on ghe motorway 😂. Nice one !!

Just curious - why would you go ‘diesel’ if anything happened to the engine? Wouldn’t dropping a straight 1098 replacement in be a lot less work / hassle? Fun video - keep em going 👍

I got 80 out of mine , but it has a straight through exhaust

Ahh yes I hang my mask in exactly the same place!

I'd like to know what rpm that was at 70mph. Were your ears ringing? 😄

How much

My 75' mini with a 998 A+ will do 80 on the dial with a tail wind if you're lucky haha. Bit sketchy on 10 inch wheels though

Are the speeds quoted in KPH or MPH.

My friend, no way would a Morris Minor come near a genuine 80mph. Unless of course, you have one with the Morrie 1100 engines fitted. And I reckon you could knock 5 mph off for the genuine speed due to instrument error. Take a look at the Pathe doco from the mid-50s of BMC cars on the autobahns being tested for speed and endurance.

My 1969 1098 Minor could do 90mph (gps speed) no not downhill. standard 4.22 differential.

is this have power steering

No seatbelt and trying for top speed.

GPS sat-nav would be more accurate. Lose all the nonsense and cut 15 mins to 5 mins or less. Short & sharp gets views as does talking with better diction

Mate, I know to young folks 78 mph seems like nothing but in an old classic like that you feel all of it. 😄 I think young ones caught speeding or drink driving should be made to drive a 60s car at 80mph and get a true sense of how fast they are moving.
