Hi, I'm Anna, I'm 17 years old, and this is Little Blue, my 1961 Morris Minor 1000.

I'd always had an interest in old cars, particularly VW beetles, and was dead-set on getting one as my first car. I learnt in an auto as we had two of those and no manual, but wanted my manual licence, so the 'rents said that when I was 6 months off 18, they'd lend me the money for a manual. I was always on the trading post and carsales sites trying to find the right bug, but somehow came across this Morris. I hadn't seen one before, and thought it was gorgeous, so I convinced my parents to take me to see it. My first ever ride in an old car was this test drive and it was awesome! So, we bought it.

It was previously owned by a P plater who took it on long road trips alone, so her dad had modified it to make it less likely to break down on her. He put in a 1.2L Nissan engine among other things.

She's a head turner, and has already featured greatly in my studio art and photography assignments... the kids at school love her. :) I drive her 40 minutes to and from school each day through the hills and she keeps up with the traffic, except in the 100km/h zone.

I'm looking forward to learning more on this forum about these beautiful cars. :)

Here's a pic of Blue. Hope the link works...
