Good video!That's a nice model there,pre 63 I would guess by the reg,2 tone upholstery, and the earlier speedo.My first car was a Minor1000 traveller 1966 I got in 1989.I've had other classics since but non at the moment. You are very correct and I found the same, that so many spares for classic cars are absolutely crap!Either they don't fit,or, fall apart prematurely. I wish unipart was still going,back then the quality was as good as the original. Best of luck with yours, looks like you know a thing or two about them. 🙂👍

We have a 1967 moggy , garaged over night , used by my girlfriend daily for work , usually needs full choke and several attempts to start in the morning , I usually stand outside the garage waiting to close the garage door and gates behind her cos she tends to conk out if she leaves her running while she closes the door and gates , once running and she gets her warmed up and the choke in she’s fine , but if left for a couple of hours she’ll start but keep stalling and my girlfriend has to use some choke , I wish she was like yours

Thoroughly entertaining Si. Well in getting it started. 👍

I expect you are going to do a sympathetic resto on the moggy it certainly looks good for its age not a lot of rust and rot I hope and the engine sounds sweet for the first start up in a few years

Hey great to see some new moggie content on here! Your car is very similar to mine a trafalgar blue minor 1000. Mine has a 1098 still which I'll probably tune a bit. Is that a HS4 carb? I hope you'll be providing some more videos of your work 👍 Sorry if you already know but a lot of the fixings are whitworth. I've only got a bare minimum of these tools myself.

I do need to get a Whitworth set. Usually I find that a 12 point imperial or metric socket can be made to fit enough to get something undone. Carb is a HS4 and it's tag says from an Austin 1300 (ADO16). I imagine the manifold is off one of them too. Personally I prefer one big carb rather than twin carb as much less hassle to tune up.

@@sic- i agree on the carbs... I'd go straight for a HIF38/44 in a "performance" setup. I've got the standard HS2 right now which will come off for a spare HS4 from a mini. I won't be racing about in my moggie haha.

Yes, I've sent off to change it with the DVLA already. But they have been on strike the last few months and so it's going to take quite a while for them to get around to updating.
