Morris Traveller 1963

Hello. and thanks for looking at our Morris Traveller.

It is with great sadness that we have made a decision to sell our lovely 1963 Morris Traveller. who is affectionately known as Doris.   She is a special Traveller as she is what is known in the club as a dual personality model. and as so she is in a register with a few other rare models (1962-1964) of her kind within the club. She was actually one of the first cars to have the 1098cc engines fitted on the production line. Unfortunately we have just not used it as much as we would like to. and as we have recently purchased a motor home. it means that chances of Doris being used more often are less likely.   We have owned her since 2011 and have covered very little mileage. (mileage details below) but always intended to use her more. but never had the time too. It was always my intention to keep her. as I have made some subtle improvements to her. which does not alter her originality.

Body work finished in lovely Almond Green paintwork. it was re-sprayed by a Morris minor restoration company in 2006 which remains in very good condition all-round. The bright work is in very good order. The wood work has been well cared for and regularly coated. and remains solid.

The Engine is the original 1098cc. but the cylinder head has been converted to run on unleaded petrol. New S. U petrol pump fitted. It also now has a high capacity double core radiator for great cooling circulation. but looks original radiator. Newly fitted head gasket. all hoses renewed with reinforced Kevlar type and new water pump. New spin on oil filter conversion fitted.   New distributor cap. New spark plugs and leads. new air filter. Dynamo replaced with alternator. Brand new Smiths oil pressure and water temperature gauges fitted. Recently serviced with oil and water changed.   Gearbox and clutch as it should. and brakes pull up well. Stainless steel exhaust fitted throughout.


Interior is original and in excellent condition for its age. Seats were treated to new webbing underneath in 2006.   All seat runners' work. rear seat folds as it should. Carpet replaced in 2006. Headlining has slight tear near light. but nothing to worry about as it does not detract from the excellent condition that the headlining is in. Windows work well and are smooth to operate. I made a purpose made dog guard that is easily removable when wished. if you would like it included in the sell.

Electrics are now converted to 12volt negative earth. with the benefit of an alternator conversion for charging the battery instead of the old dynamo. All switches work. as do lights. wiper and the heater. In addition the car has discreetly had fitted. 12v power outlet. hazard flasher and switch. complete battery isolation switch with removable key.
