Another classic is on its way to be looked after at our secure and discrete storage facility – The Hangar. This 1967 Morris Traveller has been at the Bridge Classic Cars workshops in Pettistree to have a few jobs done by our classic car restoration technicians in the past couple of weeks but this morning the car was handed over to our transport team for them to take it over to The Hangar.
The car will be stored alongside the rows of other beautiful classic cars and motorcycles in our weather sealed facility – Looking for somewhere to store your classic/collectible car? There are still a few places remaining!

The 1967 Morris Traveller which is in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop at our Suffolk HQ, has been on the ramp for a few jobs to get done on the car. Most recently, its to fix the handbrake on the classic Morris.
Our workshop manager John ran the new cable through the car before modifying it slightly to work with the non-standard brakes on the car. But, after getting it in the car and checking – all was ok with the car.

Classic car technician James has been assessing our 1967 Morris Minor Traveller. It came into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop as it would not start.
After charging the battery, James removed the spark plugs and cleaned and regapped them to the correct specification. The distributor cap was removed before the points and condenser were replaced. James then checked the timing and replaced the distributor cap and rotor arm along with the HT lead set supplied by the customer.
Once the battery charged, James started the car and found a fuel leak from where the fuel pipes joined the carburettors. This was removed and the pipe was replaced. The car was then restarted and checked for leaks and all was ok.
James carried out a short road test. He ran vehicle the car for a short time and it was running rough when hot and under load. After substituting the coil pack for a good known second-hand unit the car ran better and not lacking power. The car is now running and starts instantly as the customer requested.
Issues that James found during his assessment were:
- Corrosion on the nearside front inner chassis leg
- Corrosion on the nearside chassis to cross-member
- Corrosion on the nearside rear floor around the front of the spring mount
- Corrosion on the nearside rear floor to sill.
- Both rear wheel arch closing panels are corroded and holed
- The Nearside rear tyre has zero tread on the inside edge
- Offside rear brake binding
- Engine oil leaking from sump
- Gearbox oil leak from rear case/speedo drive
- Play in nearside front wheel bearing
- Nearside rear wheel (and spare) different type to other wheels fitted
- The fuel cap seal is deteriorated/missing
- Coolant leak from radiator/thermostat area in front of engine
Overall the car has had numerous patches welded in many areas, of which, most are now starting to deteriorate again.
