At least I know where to buy one...

There's a guy in Motueka who has a thing about Morris Minors.

Quite an admirable trait, I'd say.

My fondness for them might have a bit to do with the fact that the pre-production lines in Cowley were running at about the time that I appeared on the scene

It has a
lot to do with my cousin Ruth's surviving a massive shunt in one in the early 70s.

But - from what I've seen on King Edward Street - I can't imagine that there are many specimens roaming in the wild in the Top of the South.

"I see you're trying to corner the market" I said

"Whaddya mean - trying" he replied

Hey John,
Is this a guy who bought business from Wakefield guy? Sorry, I cannot recall the name of the man, but he was quite famous for that business. Only thing I recall is the local news paper saying the business was sold in way back.
