The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show on 20th
September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec
Issigonis. over 1. 6 million examples were manufactured from
1948-1972. The Minor was manufactured in three series; Series I. br/>Series II (1952) and finally the 1000 series. such as the car
offered today. These 1000 series cars benefitted from an
engine increase in capacity to 948cc and can be differentiated from
earlier examples of the marque by their curved. one-piece
windscreen which replaced the statement two-piece split-screen and
an enlarged rear window. This particular example also benefits from
a new dashboard layout. including such luxuries as a lidded
glove-box on both driver and passenger sides.

This excellent. four door. 1958 example has mostly been under
one family ownership from new. only being passed within the family
to the son in 1970 who later decided to dismantle the car. Acquired
by the vendor approximately three years ago. he set about a
ground-up rebuild and upgrade. After completely restoring the
bodywork. he subsequently set about rebuilding the mechanics. br/>including restoration and lowering of the suspension. new brakes
all round and checking and rebuilding of the gearbox and rear axle.
When he came to the engine. it was found to be unserviceable. so he
purchased a new MG 1250cc Sprite engine and fitted it alongside a
big valve cylinder head and twin SU carburettors. To complete the
upgrade. the Minor has been fitted with an oil cooler. large
coolant radiator. fans and Minilite wheels. This 'Fast Road' Morris
Minor 1000 is finished in black with the original red leather
interior - although currently red and black seat covers are being
used - and is supplied with various documentation such as a V5C
registration. the original 'buff' log book detailing the original
owners and a record of the restoration including photographic
evidence as well as an array of invoices for parts used. A
classic Morris Minor which has been restored with modern roads in
mind.
