FLINDERS MP Greg Hunt was in the driver’s seat during last week’s visit to the Mornington Men’s Shed.
The federal health minister appeared comfortable in the Morris Minor 1000 which members have been restoring over the past three years.
The 50-plus-year-old car was acquired through a member of the Morris Minor Car Club of Victoria for about $500.
Shedders have put in “millions of hours” restoring it, refurbishing worn and rusty parts and replacing the motor so that now it is a fine example of the popular British runabout it was in the 1950s.
