This is a really lovely example of one of Britain's favourite cars – the Morris Minor. Charming looks. combined with simple mechanicals means that the Moggy was a big hit for almost two decades. It's cheap to insure for everyone (including youngsters – the Morris Minor Owners Club will be able to supply details for a cheap insurance scheme).

The car has 12 months MOT and is taxed until March next year. so is ready to drive away once insured!

This example is in very good running order indeed. It has clearly been enthusiast-owned from some time. and is in great condition. The previous owner had owned the car since 2009 and it was only sold due to him emigrating to France. In that time. the car had a great deal of work undertaken. including a full gearbox rebuild. the fitment of larger front drum brakes (from a Riley 1500). and a COMPLETE suspension rebuild. with new polybushes throughout. and recon dampers etc etc. This means that the car now runs. drives and stops absolutely excellently - better. in fact. than any other Moggy I've ever driven. and I've driven a fair few! The gearbox is especially good.

The paintwork has a fantastic shine. and the bodywork is all very solid. with only very slight marks here and there (obviously not a concourse car!). The wheels are very clean and have recently been repainted. There are no issues at all with the structure. underside or bodywork of the car – and this is usually the sticking point!

The interior is in pretty good order. too – the front seats are very clean and look to have been recovered professionally at some point. You can see for yourself in the pictures – it's a nice place to be! There is a tear in the headlining which has been glued up. This isn't really noticeable in everyday use. The car has been fitted with 2 extra gauges – water temp and oil pressure – another very worthwhile addition.

The car has been fitted with a 1098cc engine at some point. too – which means it's now a very usable. enjoyable car capable of use on A roads in traffic. etc. The car starts on the button every time. and there are no mechanical issues whatsoever. Obviously the gearbox is all good. having been rebuilt. and the car also stops very efficiently too.

All of the electrics work. too – including the added-on indicators – ALONG WITH the original trafficators which are fully functional. too!

All the bills from the recent rebuild are there to see. and I will also include a number of books and publications on the marque. too.

This is a bargain price for a fantastic car which attracts a great deal of attention wherever it goes. Obviously it's not a concourse car but it's very nice. and won't be requiring any significant work for a long. long time. You'll be able to see that for yourself when you come to view. Now. here's the boring eBay bit:

--------------------------------

Please take your time looking through the photos – I am not trying to hide anything from prospective buyers. like the vast majority of people on eBay these days. Just check my feedback. and you'll see that I'm a completely honest seller.  Do remember that there is no substitute for coming to see the car yourself.

I strongly recommend viewing the car if you plan to buy. I've described it as well as I can. It is sold as seen with no warranty because of its age. and it must be inspected before you hand over any money. All funds must be cleared before the car can be taken away. UK BIDDERS ONLY. PLEASE! 
The car must be collected from my home in Hulme. Manchester. M15. If you have ANY questions – please ask them BEFORE buying.

I can potentially arrange delivery by trailer at extra cost. but again. the car must be inspected before you pay me.  

PAYMENT BY PAYPAL IS ONLY ACCEPTED IF YOU WILL PAY THE FEES!
