Another MK 1

Post by Mothman »

ImageThe Morris Minor sold well today so i have agreed to take Malcolm's MK 1 off him.
He needs to breath his magic on her and ime sure all will be well.
Looking forward to driving an automatic BX.

Dont know if i should remove it or not. Looks like its been there a while and i certainly wont be towing bugger all ever.
Not a great deal of dents and dings like Sophie but that adds to her character. She isnt well at the moment, very difficult heater matrix problems, still on going.Hopefully sorted soon.

I think I need to check the same on mine - it's not that bad, but is very low on power :(

People fit these things Mick over the years.

If they look ok, ile leave them, if not they are gone as with the towbar.
Sophie has extra sound speakers in the back by the C pillars but not really visible from outside but as i dont often listen to the radio in my BXs [listening for potential problems all the time] its no matter to me.
Mind you, she has got front spots and mudguards all round but no splitter,except for the MK 1 type which they all seem to have.
