New member with my Grandads Traveller

Hi all,

Just joined after acquiring my grandads old traveller.

He had it built by Mid Sussex Minors in 2000, and as bad health crept in it was last on the road in 2012. Been in dry storage since and occasionally started up and moved around the driveway, I now have it to get it back on the road and enjoy as grandad intended.

Seen a few threads already that will help me on my way. Overall the car is in good condition, but requires just a little tlc to get it back on the road.

Many thanks, Alan

Welcome aboard Alan

Being across the pond from you I'm not sure what this 'old traveller' is. You mentioned the 'car'. As in a side car on a bike? No pictures showing so I'm just scratching my noggin....

no he has a morris minor, the traveller is the station wagon version of the sedan ( possibly the 'woody'? )
