Well Hello There Fellow Technicians And Hivers!


The Weirdest Find!

Now there really isn't much to say about this one other than the fact that it's an odd little thing to find! Of-course they once were dominating the streets and now, well now they're something of a gem to find!

The infamous Morris Minor 1000! The little British made car that would legitly be fun to cruise now!

Truth be told it's not so much the find that surprises me but more the condition of the find that I found!

This thing is almost pristine!

Everything Pristine!

Okay trust if you pull out a looking glass I'm sure you'll find some wear and tear I mean this car clearly was driven over the years because if not it would be chilling inside a car museum!

But even with the wear and tear I have to say that this car is in a much better condition than mine own, I mean tear marks on the seats and my car is about 30 years younger than this one if not more!

I bet this is all original interior but I might by some chance be mistaken! A quick Google search can resolve this problem but meh!

I mean this badge on the steering wheel took some knocks from the heat of the sun over the years! However all of the steels and stuff still look untouched by rust or pit marks!

Cars back then were so much simpler than all these fancy stuff we have today! Look at this steering wheel!
At a time when all the cars drove slowly there was no need for a hooter or anything at all!

Dayum this was a true find!

I suppose this is something I will likely never see again!

OR not anytime soon! But to mention this I did see this at a technical school so I mean I would have the highest chance of spotting this at a place like that!

Well I just thought I had to share this since somebody out there might find this appealing! To say the least!
Besides I couldn't just let this fly past without giving it some credit here hey!

might be me or might just be how i sometimes feel but almost like the quality of everything back in the day was made to last two lifetimes where some of the modern stuff lasts 5-10 years if lucky.
