Actually I'm getting it cut this Saturday but I can't promise it will meet your approval 
. on a serious note I wouldn't be able to count the number of times I've moved my hair with a oily had, your sense of humour wears thin after a couple of times!
With regard to the Morris the plan is to get it on the Road by January . then after that I'm on the serious look out for a Commer! Price wise what would I bee looking at for a fair condition one perhaps needing tarting up inside and some welding but not requiring a re-spray?
Cheers

If you are planning getting a Commer and running it, check out the insurance. My step son wanted to restore one of my collection and use it himself, He's 18. He couldn't get insurance, at any price [V] If you do find someone that will, let us know and good luck with your search, we need more young blood

Ahh good thinking,
I'll have a browse but the likely classic car insurers don't insure under 21s [V]. If nothing pays of I am planning to write to practical classics to get some attention on this matter and hopefully change something We'll see.

We'll see.
I bought an original mini needing work for my daughter,I paid for the car,my daughter paid towards most of the parts [^]Racer did everything to get it up & running for her & more,same situation no insurance for under 25 rediculous [V][!] no wonder people don't care & are willing to drive with No insurance if it were available there would be young people like you to take over from us when we retire & am sure be less uninsured drivers on the road.
what are the options to learn to drive with L plates ? (without an instructor) I know you have to have held a licence for 2 or 3 years to sit with a provisional driver.
I seem to remember hearing that you can not add children to your own policy ie mums or dads etc as they use to.
so what is the best way for children to "practice" in between lesson
I wouldn't won't to teach mine to drive or any one else as I think I would teach them bad habbits :I(personal choice)

Try Peter James or Footman James, Admin has, IIRC, said he's happy to confirm that we are members of an 'owners club' so the discount for Association of Rootes Car Clubs may be applicable. There's certainly plenty of under 21s in the Imp Club who have got reasonable insurance with the above companies.
Maybe get the Morris insured then add the Commer to the policy, usually very cheap to add another classic.
Peggy drinks too much!
If I told you I was a pathological liar, would you believe me?

You can still add a young person onto Mum or Dad's insurance provided that Mum or Dad are the main drivers. I understand that the insurance companies are getting hot on those who insure their children on their policies when the children are the main drivers.
I bought a little Peugeot 106 to teach my youngest on a couple of years ago and insured it in my name as I was the main driver. Once he had passed his test he used the car as well. He is now 19 and has decided he is likely to use the car a bit more now, so has bought his own car and taken out his own policy with me as a named driver (this reduced his premium). This cost him £1200 with Aviva, but I doubt they would cover a Classic.
It does strike me as odd that insurance companies will insure young drivers in modern cars with small engines which go faster than many a classic sports car, yet will not insure them on larger engined, but slower classics. I would have thought that a youngster in a classic is likely to be a much better risk than one in a blinged up Saxo.

Thanks for all the input guys, I'll have a route around on the internet and maybe phone a couple of companys. Footman James do have a Policy for a morris which my brother is insured on for 2 years(he's 19) so maybe getting another car on thats the best way forward.

Thanks for that , I understand you can get a morris minor insured on them if your 17 so I'll be giving them a call tomorrow. I also had a look on Adrian flux Insurance which looks hopeful

Alternatively Will, you could contact Classics Monthly magazine, the UK's only classic car magazine with a Commer on its fleet (a Highwayman). I'm very impressed with your enthusiasm and efforts. Give me a call at the office on 01225 822738 or email me via my staff link at www.classicsmonthly.com
All the best,
