Ladies and gentlemen - by popular request (well, ok, by JP's request ...)

After six weeks of storm delays, my 1957 Traveller has finally arrived!

The description I favor, though possibly overworked, is it's charming! Looks like you have a winner, Tom!

 

[Bayless]

Yes, a keeper for sure.

Fantastic, Tom! Such lovely cars, hope this one is a good one for you.

My wife actually wants one some day (she loves Maggie our 4-door Minor). Only LBC she's ever had interest in.

We love ours. Wonderfully enjoyable little cars.

Wonderful. It is a hard to imagine any car having more charm than that!

 

[Popeye]

Yay!!

Here’s mine… a running project.

Lovely car, Pat

 

[Pat MM]

Thanks Drew. It’s hard to see in the photo but it’s also RHD like several of yours. It has an A14 Datsun and boosted discs up front. I finally have lost some of the dreaded DGV bog on acceleration, but I still feel like it needs leaner jets as the carb came off a hotrod MGB engine and it still smells really rich.

 

[drooartz]

Good luck with that Weber. My Morris came with one on the 1275 but I swapped it to a single HiF SU and it runs really nicely.

 

[Bayless]

The DGV is a really good carb if set up properly for the motor. If not, it can be a real PITA to get it right.

 

[Silverghost]

Minors are so much fun, you can't have just one!

 

[Hamish Racing]

Now I have garage envy.

 

[Pat MM]

Nice garage setup, no doubt! And those are a couple nice looking Minors.
I have three cars in our two car garage arranged with Traveller straight in with the Sprite sideways in front of it, and the Ghia next to the Minor. And way too much other stuff, Oh, and at least 6 or 7 rideable bicycles hanging around, and a few frames, but that’s another story. The 1950 garage is way too short to stack cars, even LBCs.

You have a Karmann-Ghia? Pictures please!
