Morris Minor
We were happy to welcome a new customer this week! They brought in a genuine Morris Minor, affectionately referred to as ‘Maud’.
There was a few problems to sort with its fuel supply, a badly corroded thermostat housing as well as a good once-over. It was a real pleasure to get ‘Maud’ up and running well again.
