90 years ago today my Morris passed down the assembly line at the Cowley Works, so I couldn't pass the opportunity to pootle down over the Cotswolds to Oxford and return the Minor to its 'birthplace'. The site is now occupied by the Oxford Business Park, which is accessed off Garsington Road by a roundabout with an obelisk called the Nuffield Needle. I parked on Alec Issigonis Way and took a couple of photos. On the way down I somehow managed to catch up a rather gorgeous 1921 Calcott a few miles east of Moreton-in-Marsh. We ended up in a two car convoy for the next 16 miles until we reached Woodstock and they pulled into a hotel/pub car park. A total of 155 miles done today.
