This 1956 Morris Minor Split Screen Convertible was purchased by
the current lady owner in August 2009. Known as 'Maggie'. this late
series II Minor convertible has only covered approximately 450
miles in the ensuing years and in that time. Maggie has only been
used occasionally and on dry days. The coachwork is finished in
dark grey and. although not a concours finish. is in good order
with only a few minor blemishes. The hood and interior trim were
both replaced in 2006 and compliment the grey exterior. The
undersides appear to be excellent; in fact. we are informed that on
the last MoT test. the tester commented that this was the finest he
had seen. The original 803cc engine has been replaced at some point
during its life with the later 948 Morris unit that gives it a
little extra 'oomph'. On a recent test. the car started on the
button. with no smoking evident. and she soon settled into a smooth
idle. On the road it drove easily and stopped in the usual fashion
with the all drum brakes having been recently overhauled. The
steering was sharp with directional indication by the semaphore
indicators working as they should. The hood operated easily up and
down; an important point for those quick sharp showers. Although
MoT test exempt. the owner is particular about keeping Maggie safe
so there is a current MoT test certificate valid until late October
2015 and. of course. she is also road fund licence exempt.

Although Maggie is no concourse contender she does have a
certain charm and is waiting to be enjoyed especially as the finer
months are ahead of us. with the picnic basket and its contents
included.
