Charles Ware and the Morris Minor

Thanks to Matt Holt of MGL media for spending a couple of days at the centre filming and recording interviews to produce this film about Charles Ware and his Morris Minor Centre as it is in 2013. 37 years after it first began. We hope it gives those who have not been here a sense of the centre's scale and purpose.

Morris Minor and MGL Media

As one of the MGL Media team is already a member of the official Morris Minor club and the proud owner of a Morris Minor convertible, they have to admit to being a little biased when it comes to this humble little car. In fact they already have a film in production, “The Morris: A Minor Documentary”, which will appear in the coming months.

The Show Must Go On

Before the Morris Minor Centre, Charles Ware was a property developer in London and Bath in the late '60s and early '70s. This film was commissioned by Arena in a series about maverick entrepreneurs in the UK in 1974. With a working title of Champagne Charlie it became a flim about the rise and fall of Charlie's property business. The title changed to The Show Must Go On leaving Charles Ware walking the streets of Bath a bankrupt. Within the year Charles Ware had bought 3 Morris Minors, found a yard in Bath and began the journey that brought us the Morris Minor Centre.
