Morris Minor - Branson, MO.
 

Found this "Rare Beast" on a recent trip to Branson, Missouri.

I hope it survived the Tornado which went through the area, overnight.

Nice little find :D

That's just like the one we had when I was a child...URB 139...spilt windowscreen and orange arm indicators that popped out between the doors.

You just gave me a nice memory of how much my father hated it when they went from arm indicators to blinkers! He thought they were a terrible idea! :D

There's an Austin 1100 on a pole near here - rusted as anything - as an ad for a car breakers!

The one in Waterville, ME?

That thing has been up there for as long as the missus can remember....but it has gotten a hell of a lot more wonky and manky looking since I first moved to the US :lol:

Re: Morris Minor - Branson, MO.
 

I didn't get a chance to look at it closely. I am going to assume that it has most of its original bits.

There is a mint-condition Morris Traveller (the Estate) which I've seen on a few occasions, close to where I live. I'm hoping to take a pic of that, soon.

No, this is in Georgia where rust is something we only see on TV! However, even in this environment, I think the 1100 is rusty!!! :eek:

:lol:

That's great....they're all adverts for junk yards :D

Re: Morris Minor - Branson, MO.
 

So true. My first car was an 1100. I paid 100 quid for it and drove from Enfield to Woodford without any brakes at one point!!

I've seen a bright yellow Mini Traveller/Countryman (can't remember whether it was a Morris or an Austin) in Bountiful, UT - must be interesting to drive with all the SUVs etc around.

There's an Austin 1100 on the Portland (Oregon) Craigslist right now. Rubbish then, rubbish now!
