"AS I WRITE THIS month’s Ed Speak, the MMOC National rally is only a couple of weeks away and I for one can’t wait. It will be a great opportunity for me to meet many of our readers who also pop along to this long standing event. If you can’t make this rally however there are many other similar shows up and down the country organised by the various owners club branches and other classic car organisations, enough in fact to keep you busy for most weekends from March to October at least. This month we have included a Morris Oxford in our main feature alongside a Minor Tourer which I hope won’t upset too many of you, but I have to say that there are many close relatives of the Minor which don’t enjoy the popularity, or even the luxury of their own dedicated magazine as the MM does, so this is just our way of celebrating those other models. Also this month I would like to introduce and welcome Alison Hall to our small but dedicated team at Minor Monthly as she takes on the position of advertising sales for the magazine, you can check out her Tourer in our Staff Car feature elsewhere in this issue."
