Here's the boot - ah, it's gorgeous! Round and rumplike and this color! Maroon not as in marooned on some isle but as in deep glossy red-purple like a plum or nearly ripe blackberry.

This is a car that needs to be driven, to be gawked at, to be kept in a garage and tinkered with (not that anything's amiss, but this is what little British cars adore - attention after dinner and a Sunday jaunt around the lake.)

I just found my stash of Morris Minor books, pamphlets and the parts and info catalog (which you can download) from the Morris Minor Centre. I also found the original FAX communicatios between Charles Ware and me while HAM was being sought then worked on there in Bath.

Make me an offer!
