saw a petrol sign displaying 82p, shot in to find a canopy but no pumps! been closed for a few years, anyway I wonder if I put red diesel in my diesel morris minor whether they'd check as morris never made a diesel moggy

A friend of mine owns the bubble car used on "heartbeat" by "Gina"

I used to have one, paid £50 for it on the road but that was a long time ago, give some more info, I may be interested but I'd sort the rear suspension it was terrible using one leaf spring running from one side to the other, very unstable especially with passengers.

next pics, front suspension on the new chassis, ford escort van shortened rear axle, cab preparation

1969 Moggy van project, will update as we go. from start to finish, a rusting wreck to a modern funcional vehicle, retro van with modern mechanicals, a bit like what VW did with the beetle but keeping the original shell.

Chassis work

Thank you very much John, it's always nice when work is appreciated, I did look at wheel options to try to get close to ogiginal as possible but stud patters proved a problem and it'd cost enough already, again thankyou for your appreciation, Martin

passed an MX5 on the A14, he was doing about 70, I was doing about 90 then once passed the trafficator popped out and I pulled in, just wish I could have seen his face! It really does drive well. I did the job just to be different, even made a new fuel tank, custom exhaust, new "flat" floor, halogen...

1951 split screen minor, modified in 2011, the only one of it's kind, 1.5ltr peugeot diesel, front wheel drive, dual circuit servo assisted brakes, coil spring / strut suspension on a custom built rolling chassis.

I'd like to bring my car along if I can get a space for sure, have been invited to other events but quite fancy this one. This is a real crowd puller as it's the only front wheel drive diesel moggy! Based on a 1951 split screen car.
