We are getting to know our car and so far we are very pleased with her. A few friends and neighbours have been round to admire her. Yesterday my youngest son and his fiancee visited to have a look at her and we gave them a spin in her.
Us girls took the back seat and it was really roomy and comfortable and was a very smooth ride.
For insurance purposes we had to provide photos including right side, left side, front, back, interior, milometer and engine. So I thought I would show some more shots of her.
We have renamed her Febe
Her previous owner named her Connie. I have always liked to try to name our vehicles from the letters on the number plate so she has now become Febe (pheobe). I think it really suits her.
Milometer
Engine
This is the engine after my lovely husband spent some time cleaning it. The car is serving it’s purpose of giving my husband a bit of a hobby as well as being a vehicle for us to have fun in.
We have also joined the morris traveller club so we are really getting into the whole spirit of it. It has given us a whole new interest and I feel we are going to have good times ahead with Febe.

So happy for you, It is always good to have a new interest.
It is good to have a new interest especially as we are slowing down work wise. Richard has been enjoying tinkering with her already. So far he has fixed the sun visor on the drivers side which had come off and was in the glove box, he has bought a jack and made sure he can change the wheels and has cleaned the engine and inside of the bonnet. The great thing with this car is we can choose how much or how little to do to her.
P.S. I added to the post in brackets (Pheobe) just in case Febe wasn’t clear enough. I made the name from the letters but thought afterwards that I should have included the correct spelling too.
I love your car. She really seems to suit you!

That’s funny because that’s what our lovely next door neighbour said. She saw us with the car the day we got her as she had just got home from work. She came over to have a look and she said that the car was just so us and that every time we got in the car it would make us smile.
We have shown her to a few friends now and they all agree that she is so right for us. x
