Just remembered I had a strange coincidence. I was telling the passengers there were a few Travellers all a mauve or maybe pink (I think) colour with Minor 1000000 logo on the back to celebrate the number that had been made. There was disbelief, and then seconds later one of them over took us!!

I had a Morris Traveller as my first Company car back in 1972. It was maroon and had started with an 800cc engine but it was refurbished (a bit) when I had it and it had the 1.1Litre engine. I loved it especially the squeaking of the ash doors as the chassis 'moved' when driving.
When it was due to be changed out I wanted to buy it for my own use but there was a queue of senior managers ahead of me!

Apparently there was a murder nearby and a 'suspect' thought to be driving a traveller was being looked for! The Police arrived and the travel logs and whereabouts of all the drivers was traced. Turned out we were all innocent! But I had my suspicions.😊😊

On the area I looked after there was a small company that could sell you a ready cut wood kit to replace the wood on the car. Someone I vaguely new tried it but the condition of the metal underneath was so bad he gave up.

When our son was 5, I would drop him off at school. On returning the engine rarely started again, it was the + terminal on the battery the connection had the usual silver foil space filler under the clamp of the lead. Knowing this I would open the bonnet and take the hammer I carried for the purpose and with one swipe hit the + battery terminal. Lower the bonnet get in the car and she always started! My wife said all the local mums were most impressed!!!🤗

Now we have all this technology!!!

I passed my driving test in a blue Morris 1000 Traveller which my mother had bought to learn to drive in and I later bought a white ex-police one fitted with an 1100cc engine which went well.

Have often thought about buying another one but no room in the garage.

Yikes! That’s 100 feet longer than our latest Aircraft carrier the USS Gerald Ford!

Thank you for your feedback.
That was it too. A few more pictures of Stade jetty on the Elbe. 5 km from my home.
