Greece Independence Day

We celebrate Greek Independence Day with images of a restored 1970, Morris 1100 Super Deluxe...

No doubt the car will interest many of you for a number of reasons. Firstly seeing a re-painted ADO16 is nothing unusual but to see an absolutely bare bodyshell being painted is not something that happens very often – some of these images also provide opportunity to see parts of the car many owners will never have seen before.

Perhaps the keen eyed amongst you will spot a number of Mark III features but it does not take away the fact that this car has been rebuilt to a very high standard and it is a considerable undertaking to rebuild the engine at the same time – this Morris has certainly been given a new lease of life.

It’s a wrap! This was the team who were manning the stand throughout the weekend (a couple of people missing @alanwebbmoore, @minikermit2014 and @martinmg6) but an amazing time! @restoringmaggie @hydrosuspension @mgzedtt. A great selection of cars, and public who were really keen to chat.

Day 2 of the UK’s Practical Classics Classic Car & Restoration Show was highly productive; it was a much busier day with as expected far more people attending for the weekend. The ado16.info club team was often stretched between welcoming and engaging with visitors to the club stand. Nonetheless, we all felt very happy with what was achieved on each car...

...Simon certainly did get to grips with his task and by a fairly early time the steering rack had been replaced, this was something Alan became quite grateful of as the positive earth on this car did present some challenges for wiring the dynamator and electronic ignition on his Austin. However, by the end of the day those matters had been fixed.

On the Wolseley Emily set about painting for most of the day whist Tom settled for the easir task of bolting on new and shiny items...

Sunday is obviously the last day and during the coming week we will update you with the final progress whilst also looking a little closer at each car in turn.
