I really enjoyed owning the Smart Brabus Roadster ,but it was a complicated little beast that I could do little with .
It has now been sold and replaced with a 1960 Morris Minor 2 door Saloon in Old English White .

I had a 1955 Minor in the early 70's loved it to bits, preferred it over the Mini, (but I had also had a Honda S800 to keep it company a true little pocket rocket), Needless to say it needed some welding for every MOT. Sold it to a mechanic friend who put a Midget 1275 engine in it and boy it shifted.
Wished I had a convertible version.

Nice move.

This beauty was at a local club meeting down here last month - complete with new fabric wrapping for the loom.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Lovely little Minor. I suspect it will still be running long after many of todays vehicles chips are fried..?

Pity about the modern untrimmed cable tie when they've spent so much time getting the other stuff correct doh

Yes, I'd be very happy to own this one, they've done a great job of it and as you say far better than the factories efforts.
