CLASSIC 1956 MORRIS MINOR

EXCELLENT CONDITION

 

 

 

RARE SPLIT SCREEN MORRIS MINOR IN EXCELLENT. ORIGINAL CONDITION.  

THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST MODELS WITH THE SPLIT SCREEN. IT HAS THE SEMAPHORE TURN INDICATORS. THIS MINOR WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED ON JANUARY 26. 1956. AND PURCHASED IN IRELAND BY A MIDWIFE FROM W. H. ALEXANDER. LIMITED. IN BELFAST ON MARCH 26 1956. IT THEN HAD THREE ADDITIONAL OWNERS UNTIL 1975 WHEN A COLLECTOR PURCHASED THE CAR AND STORED IT IN COUNTY ANTRIM. IRELAND.   IN 1985 ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM ENGLAND BOUGHT THE MORRIS TO ADD TO HIS COLLECTION OF MORRIS CARS. I PURCHASED THE MINOR IN APRIL 2007 FROM THE FAMILY ESTATE SALE.  

THE CONDITION OF THE MORRIS IS EXCELLENT.   ALL ORIGINAL. NO BODY DAMAGE. AND NO RUST AREAS. THE UNDERSIDE IS RUST-FREE AND VERY CLEAN. EVERYTHING ON THE MORRIS WORKS PERFECTLY. THERE ARE NO ISSUES. THE INTERIOR STILL HAS THAT OLD CAR LEATHER SMELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN STORAGE THAN ON THE ROAD.  

ALL THE CHROME ITEMS WERE REPLACED INCLUDING NEW BONNET MOTIF. NEW BUMPERS. GRILL SURROUNDS. NEW DOOR OUTER DOOR HANDLES (VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND) BONNET AND BOOT HINGES AND NEW ORIGINAL PINSTRIPING. TWO NEW REAR TIRES WERE FITTED AND A NEW ORIGINAL HEADLINER.  

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BUFF LOG BOOK OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PLUS THE BRITISH MOTOR HERITAGE CERTIFICATE THAT CONFIRMS THE CAR'S AUTHENTICITY. PRIOR TO BEING IMPORTED INTO THE U. S. . THE MORRIS UNDERWENT THE STRINGENT MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT TEST THAT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BRITISH VEHCILES THAT ARE MORE THAN THREE YEARS OF AGE. IT PASSED WITHOUT ANY ADVISORIES AND I HAVE THE CERTIFICATE. THE MILEAGE SHOWS 36. 18 WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT.

THE MORRIS HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE AND IT SHOWS. MOST OF THESE MODELS ARE LONG GONE AND MOST THAT ARE AVAILABLE REQUIRE FULL RESTORATION. IT IS THE PERFECT COLLECTOR/SHOW CAR.   IT RUNS AND DRIVES AS IT WOULD HAVE DONE IN 1956.
