The preferred drive.......

"There is a meet at the Lake district motor museum on boxing day, we have been to that sometimes, usually a good day out & museum has some good stuff in it."
- Sounds good!!!


Do you think it may be worth joining the Lakeland Historic Car Club though - £27 per...

".......so I towed him to the show which amused the marshalls!"

Knavesmire looks a good turnout!

Poor LVL 618 Y though.....

Looking at events late in the year and never really wanting to put too many miles on 'Morris Montego', I've just done a Google, 'car shows north west'

Interesting - for members only (circa 320), the Lakeland Historic Car Club do a meet up October, November and December near Ulverston, south...

......only ever sent a private message from the "messages" section, not from a post, forum........but I'll bear in mind what you say.


Modern life, the world of IT - So much time is spent focussing on the tool, rather than the task!!

Thanks for that Jeff

......my radio/cassette is the 'R652'

[Morris Montego]

The ICE.....on my to do list at some point I guess -

The speaker in the driver's door don't work. Lots of corrosion and it has been removed at some point. For now, I have just re-fitted it in a neater fashion.

The device itself is the original factory item, badged 'Rover'....

.......it seems to have been a Facebook group that spotted me, "Rare and on the Road"

Morris is now sat back home......where she will rest until Thursday'ish

A trusty steed all the way home too and an enjoyable drive.

Attracted loads of attention whilst in Prestatyn.....I received a WhatsApp from Tanya - someone had spotted me whilst in Prestatyn and made a...

.....and with some velcro from the Prestatyn hardware store, the rear buckles now sit snuggly in place.
The piece of velcro already on the seat was fine


.....well, my wife was sleeping in!!

.....Julia says she's never changed the glass in the tailgate. She'd had the car since 2007.

[Morris Montego]

.....I don't know Jeff.

I'll send the previous owner another message - She's happy to help, learn of progress

[Morris Montego]

Well, Morris was a very pleasant drive here and ambling around Prestatyn too, where again she is attracting a nostalgic smile

.....and, I even found time this morning to glue the crack in one of the occasional rear seat belt buckles. Both clunk click fine...

My '6 is diesel - long run mpg good but urban, mixed driving is poor, to put it politely.

[Morris Montego]

Taking a quick, 3 night, break in Prestatyn, just 36 miles from home......and I thought "We'll go in Montego !"

She'll likely be a talking point (again, as the car was just yesterday) and I'll prefer the drive in many ways - great visibility, good driving position, comfy seats,...

[Morris Montego]

Wow, that's some info!!


Zastava - I was just thinking of them the other day - if memory serves me correctly, they made the Fiat (124?) based Yugo........and then Yugo became the brand name

I mentioned this briefly at Lytham Hall......

When I close my tailgate or lift it into the full vertical something rattles around. I removed the plastic trim on the tailgate earlier, expecting to find a loose bolt or similar rattling 'round. But nothing.
I re-attached the trim, getting...
