Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 393 votes

In 1962 what would be the last of the Morris Minor / 1000 series derivatives arrived on the scene. the (1098cc) Morris 1000. The new 1000 introduced some worthwhile improvements. the biggest change of coarse being the new. larger capacity engine. Other modifications included a new dashboard layout (a lidded glove box on the passenger side. an open cubby hole in front of the driver). a different heater. plus new. larger tail/flasher and front side/flasher lamps.

From 1962 the 1000 range began to slowly wind down to the inevitable close in 1971. By 1969 production of the Morris 1000 Tourer had stopped. next went the Saloons in 1970 and finally the Traveller and commercials in 1971. Today the Morris Minor and 1000 are amongst the best served Classic. family sized cars in the movement and continue to gain popularity.  

Closed van and pick-up versions of the Minor were built from 1953 until the end of production. They were designed for commercial use with small businesses. although many made their way to larger corporations. Van versions were popular with the General Post Office. the early versions of these (to around 1956) having rubber front wings to cope with the sometimes unforgiving busy situations in which they were expected to work. Both the van and the pickup differed from the monocoque construction of the Saloon and Traveller variants by having a separate chassis. They also differed in details such as telescopic rear dampers. stiffer rear leaf springs and lower-ratio differentials to cope with heavier loads.

Offered here is a rare example of the pick-up. which has been used been used as an advertising vehicle and as such. is in daily use.  The vehicle is said to have had some welding done for MoT tests but most have. The vehicle is said to all run smoothly and is described as  a pleasure to drive. The vehicle has been recently serviced but. ould benefit from a full cosmetic overhaul. It is also believed to have had an uprated 1275 Marina engine.

A sound example of a rare survivor and a great basis for a full restoration. Offered complete with MoT through to March 2015 and historic tax to April 2015. Ready to work or play.
