Pictures can be found here http://www.wsheppard.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Stumpy/mo_montage.htm It is in good condition, not too far of A1. Some minor bits of trim missing around one of the rear lamps and the interior light cover. Leather all in good condition. Some pitting to the chrome.

Just about on-topic - what are the pros and cons regarding vinyl and latex gloves? I've just finished a box of latex ones, which were OK until I got them near oil/petrol/white spirit etc, when they went baggy and fell apart. Would vinyl be any better? I liked the amount of feel the latex gloves allowed - I guess that's why they use latex for condoms ;-)

I need rear brake shoes and a master cylinder repair kit for my Opel Kadett B. Despite the fact that I was told that parts were relatively easy to come by as many parts are shared with the Vauxhall Astra, I am finding this not to be the case. Any ideas anyone, I have already tried ebay without success. Thanks. Jeannie ---

Has anyone removed the rooflining on a Minor 1000? Mine needs to come out to repair the dents in the roof. The manual describes the process adequately but there are no diagrams. It describes Bowden cables to tension it - I've found one but the other has already released itself - and "concealed clips". But of course because they're concealed I can't find them! Any advice would be gratefully...
