MVA Rally and LOCI National Rally - 2015 - Thoresby Park.

So - hundreds of Morrises out on the show field.

Have a few Minors.









Striking colour on this one made it very distinctive.

And here's a few specials.



Wonderful woodie estate.



Rodded 8. Rover V8, shortened rear axle, Jag IRS - the usual stuff - but quite understated.



Running Bullnose chassis. Interesting!





These are the "original" Morris Minors.







Convertible 8s. Last one nearly came home with me. Can't imagine why?



8 saloons.





8Es.











Rather liked this. I think I could ride in that. These were all lumped togather as Big Morrises.

The following are "Other Classics" as the organisers politely put it.















Little Lancia. No idea why it was here, but what a lovely little thing it is.

In the absence of any "proper" Indiana Jones vehicles, I thought this Aston Martin might suit as a reminder from his James Bond phase.







Look at that. Big rev counter in front of the driver, speedo in front of the passenger. All as it should be. Just as well the keys weren't in it or they'd still be looking for me.

These are a selection of the prize winners at the days end.















That's your lot. I think that's everything I took that's usable. It was a grand day out. The Morris Minor Owners Club are organising next years MVA Rally at Catton Hall, I think on the first weekend of July. I think I'll bookmark it regardless of whether it's the LOCI National or not.

Chris.

Looks like a good one. Would they welcome an 80s car from Cowley? I was tempted to just turn up and hope to get in. Worth it for WOC catering alone.
