Classic Car Mart January 2012

In December 2011 we had the honour of a visit from the editor of Classic Car Mart who fast tracked this article into the magazine. Another interested and happy visitor to our premises here in Bristol. We even make it into his editorial blurb at the front of the magazine which is reproduced below.

The Daily Telegraph

Written by David Williams back in June (published 8th October 2011), this article looks at the trend among some drivers to look to classic cars as their everyday cars. An approach we have encouraged since the 1970s. Centre stage is the Morris Minor Traveller owned by Hugh and Anne Marshall (pictured on the right) 

Minor Matters Chelsea Flower Show Sept 2011

An article in Septembers issue of the Morris Minor Owners Club magazine Minor Matters, triggered by Malcolm Bull's Morris Minor Traveller's visit to the Chelsea Flower Show, 2011, as the mascot for The British Plant Nursery Guide. It includes photographs by Zac Ware and a clear explanation of the partnership between Charles Ware's Morris Minor Centre and The British Plant Nursery Guide.

Chelsea Flower Show 2012

After the success of last years trip to The Chelsea flower show we have been invited back thanks to Gilly at the British Plant Nursery Guide. Once again we will be providing another of our rebuilds which demonstrate our high standards of classic car restoration. 

Rosemary Coldstream, MSGD, who is an experienced designer will be designing the stand this year and is delighted to have the Old English White Morris Minor Traveller as a centre piece of the design.

Please take a moment to enjoy the photos of our trip to the Chelsea Flower show 2011 

We took this rather splendid looking Smoke Grey Rebuilt Traveller. It was the proud totem for the British Plant Nursery Guide's stand at the show. We had previously lent them one in 2010 for the Hampton Court Flower show. The Traveller represents an offshoot of Gilly Pollock's guide, called Jolly Jaunts which offers interesting weekend breaks away.

The garden of 2011 was designed by Claudia De Yong, 6 times winner of the RHS Hampton Court Flower Show. For the garden you see here at Chelsea she was given a Commendation for Best Garden Design.

One of Gilly's partnerships for the Chelsea Flower Show was with Fabric Mills. Here are a few photos of the display they put in their shop in Bath
