Our 2 old, very slow, survivor Morris Minors hit the road: Where we're going, why 'MoT' is a pun

Now we've introduced our two Morris Minors, what are we going to do with them? Well, Tempting Fate Tours does road trips. We needed something special for two pretty special old survivors. Where are we going?
The answer is a 40-year-old event that most Americans have never heard of: Minors on Tour, in which a load of Morris owners pack their cars full of tents, camping gear, oil, and spare parts and head from the U.K. to the Continent (that's Yurrop) for a week-long holiday with tourist drives each day.
This year's event was short, and flat, which suited two very underpowered old Minors that max out at about 50 mph. Watch the video for more!

Once more, our deepest thanks to Bryan 'Woody' Wood, who made video magic out of the mess of video clips, still images, voiceovers, and random emalis + texts we threw at him. Do you need videos? HIRE WOODY! You can reach him at: frink5k@gmail.com.

I had a 50's (can't remember exact year) Loved the little things and this was around '65.

I owned a 1961 Minor 1000 Convertible back in the 1990s. I now own a 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater which rolled off the production line at Cowley on the 11th April '32. In June last year I took it on a 1,200 mile tour from my home in Worcestershire to the Scottish Highlands, in 28 degree heat (82f). Given the 3-speed 'crash' gearbox sits inside the cabin and heat from the engine finds its way through the wooden flooring, I had to do the entire 8 day trip with the hood down to save me from frying. The little car happily sat at 40mph (no motorways/freeways/highways), and never let me down. Morris Motors built solid, reliable cars in the 1920s and 30s.

Also very surprised that Minors made it to the US and have a bit of a following.

Thanks for the kind words! We have lots more to come: the videos so far have only taken us up to about early January ...

Just subscribed. As someone from the U.S., who grew up in the 1960’s, I do remember seeing a few of these. Mom had a Coworker who had a 4 door. I will be following your “adventures”. 🚗🙂

I'd be interested in that shipping video. Bucket list dream is to ship our vintage ride abroad for a Goodwood visit.

Another great video. I wasn't listening carefully, and I thought you said "Low Life" Minor, rather than low light.

No hate but I would turn down or eliminate the background music when you’re talking. It’s a common thought process to add it in, but oftentimes it’s not necessary and makes it difficult to hear your voice. Many years back I did the same thing in my crappy videos 🤣

This one had a couple of places where we could have been more conscious of music vs voice levels. Thanks for watching.

Worked on a low light as an apprentice, they couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, but still love them. The later models have stood the test of time and are still a good car
