As the business grew so did the need for space and in 1998 the business moved to the current site on the Wolverhampton road.
Becoming part of the David Manners Group in 2006 has increased the buying power of this once small two man band to create a company with a steadily increasing turnover.
We have access to around 3000 parts and over 1600 lines in stock, for all Morris Minor cars.
Here at the Morris Minor Centre Birmingham, we're passionate about getting young people excited about Morris Minor cars. That's one of the reasons we decided to embark on the challenging restoration project of Glenys, a lovely Moggy we acquired in 2017. Our good friend Fuzz Townshend, host on National Geographic's Car SOS, did a phenomenal job restoring Glenys to her former glory, and an amazing total of over £12,000 was raised for the Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove when we raffled off the car!
You can come and vist us at many events throughout the year, including our annual Morris Minor Open Day usually held in May. The event is open to owners and enthusiasts alike, and is a chance to have a look at some gorgeous cars, as well as learn handy hints & tips from our resident Morris Minor experts, get special discount on Morris Minor parts, and of course eat cake! It's just a shame we can't always rely on the British weather!
