Greetings everyone. Last summer, my family was in need of a 3rd car that could carry myself, my wife, our three kids - in car seats, my massage table (I am a therapist), be economical on gas and be reasonably priced. Armed with those requirements, I started searching my favorite haunts - eBay, craigslist, etc. Naturally those requirements would lean in the direction of a minivan or a station wagon. So my searches keyed on minivan and station wagon.
Perhaps the car gods were smiling on me or perhaps they were in a particulary humorous mood as one day I typed in "wagon" on craigslist and up came 1964 Morris Mini Traveller wagon. Not knowing what the reception from my better half would be, I printed the listing and went to discuss it with her. Long story longer, after a visit, two test drives and verifying that previously mentioned car seats AND massage table would fit, we went home the new owners of said Traveller.
It is a fun little car! We have been driving it, taken it to local shows, events, etc. The first weekend we had it was the Microcar National Meet here and of course we had to attend.
In the interest of keeping this readable, I will finish. I look forward to sharing, learning and discovering the ups and downs of owning a classic mini. One question before I go, does anyone know production stats for travellers? I know they are few - mine is red/red and not a woody. Any help in this arena is appreciated.
Thanks for letting me ramble!
