Title: Classic daily drivers Post by: Manky Monkey on November 21, 2016, 08:47:00 PM Saw these 2 parked in different side streets in Christchurch, Dorset yesterday. Always makes my day to see oldies getting used instead of sitting in a museum or rusting away under a tarpaulin. :)

Moggy Minors always make me smile. I've owned 3 of 'em. Lovely little cars. Title: Re: Classic daily drivers Post by: BikerGran on November 22, 2016, 08:24:46 PM I had one too - wonderful little car - though mine was a Morris 1000 - never let me down except once in Wales - I just stopped at the roadside and sorted the carb and went on.

They also did a Station coupe version of the ute. Longer doors and two rows of seats, but I've never seen one in this country. My dad had a AS for a while but all I can remember, is it being big and black with the Sphinx mascot.
Title: Re: Classic daily drivers Post by: Manky Monkey on November 26, 2017, 10:15:11 PM One of my customers has 2 Siddleys, which are his Summer dailies. Absolutely no idea what models but, as you say Dave, big & black with shiny Sphinxes on the front.
Title: Re: Classic daily drivers Post by: BikerGran on November 27, 2017, 03:56:44 PM A friend of my brother had an AS for a while, he took me for a ride in it. Again, no idea of model but it had a bonnet about 3 miles long. All the steering linkages were horribly worn and he couldn't keep it in a straight line so we progressed along the road in a series of graceful curves!
