New tow vehicle

[andertonm]

Just took delivery on this monster last week. 1098cc of raw power! If the economy gets bad enough I can live in it. SWMBO saw photos and said we had to have it.

its not too often when you see someone else with a morris minor!

How cool! What model year are those? That bulldog is so funny. He looks like he's guarding his car.

Mine is a '64 Traverler 1000. The bulldog is Murph...we were doing all that we could to keep him awake, nevermind him guarding the car!hahaha.

Hope no one minds the off topic-ness of this. Andertonm set up the post pretty well as Tow Vehicle! You get pretty excited when someone else even knows what kind of car this is.

And there must be a HEMI under the hood to tow your Parker! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 8)

That is a beautiful rig

andertonm-the more i look at yours, the more i like it! great buy! it would be pretty cool (and economical) if some pizza delivery place got one of yours. good PR too! you now just need a classic parker sticker for it!

The van is a 69. It came from New Zealand and is in remarkably good shape. Thanks for tolerating the departure from Parkers.

 

[FishAC]

ours is from California, but all our parts come from NZ

If you can put an alcohol swilling Hemi in an Angila, it shouldn't be a problem to do the same in a Morris Minor.

Now where did I put my fire suit...?

 

[FishAC]

we already have a "high performance" 1275cc engine with weber carbs in it...hahah

Ahhh! 8) a Morris "Cooper"... wondered about the wire wheels :lol: :lol:

When I was growing up, my best friend's father was our family doctor, and he had a Morris Minor sedan. That must have been around 58 or 59. Yours, again looks great.

You are in good "company". Check this one out. :wink:

In the true Classic Parker fashion, here are the project pages.
