1968 ORIGINAL ENGLISH MORRIS MINI MOKE IN SPRUCE GREEN

1968 ENGLISH MORRIS MINI MOKE IN ORGINAL SPRUCE GREEN.

I HAVE OWNED THIS WONDERFUL LITTLE MOKE FOR AROUND 12 YEARS AND IN THAT TIME HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON IT. IT'S AN ORIGINAL ENGLISH MANUFACTURED AND REGISTERED CAR AND FINISHED IN SPRUCE GREEN WITH ORIGINAL BLACK SEAT CUSHIONS. IT NEVER HAD ANY REAR SEATS IN IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND IT STILL HASN'T. I USED TO BE IN THE CLUB AND IT'S A VALUABLE SOURCE OF PARTS AND INFORMATION AND WELL WORTH JOINING. BUT I LET IT LAPSE DUE TO FAMILY COMMITMENTS. THE ENGINE AND GEARBOX IS THE RARE 848cc UNIT THAT THEY WERE ALL FITTED WITH AT THE TIME. NOT SOME 1275cc REPLACEMENT. MORE THAN CAPABLE FOR THIS BODY WEIGHT ( OF WHICH THERE ISN'T MUCH ANYWAY ) IT'S NOT A NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION. THAT WOULD COST YOU ANYWHERE BETWEEN £13. 00 / £16. 00 IN TODAY'S MARKET. IT WAS PRETTY GOOD WHEN I GOT IT AND I'VE JUST DETAILED AND IMPROVED IT AS AND WHEN I HAD TIME OVER THE YEARS. WILL NEVER WIN ANY BIG PRIZES. BUT IT IS VERY ORIGINAL AND AS IT SHOULD BE. IT'S SUFFERED THE DREADED TIN WORN IN IT'S TIME BUT NOT DRASTICALLY. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE WELDING THAT WAS THERE WHEN I GOT IT. NEVER WORRIED ME AND IT'S REALLY NOT "THAT" BAD AT ALL FOR A 45 YEAR OLD ONE OF THESE. OF COURSE IT'S HAD PAINTWORK AND SOME FILLER WORK IN THE LAST 45 YEARS. SHOW ME AN OLD CAR THAT HASN'T?. NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR A FEW YEARS BUT JUST PUT FRESH FUEL IN IT AND IT STARTED WITHIN A FEW TURNS OF THE KEY !  JUST TO CONFIRM IN THE PAST YEAR IT HAS HAD: ALL NEW BRAKE PIPES. MASTER CYLINDERS ALL ROUND. nbsp;SHOES. TYRES. nbsp;COMPLETE CLUTCH SYSTEM WITH BOTH NEW RESERVOIRS. BATTERY. REAR LIGHTS. MOST OF THE WIRING. ENGINE REMOVED. DETAILED AND OVERHAULED. EXHAUST. PERIOD CORRECT BLACK WITH RAISED WHITE NUMERAL NUMBER PLATES: UNDER BODY AND UNDER BONNET DETAILING. TANK REMOVED. FLUSHED. CLEANED ETC:. PLUS MANY MANY OTHER NUMEROUS THINGS. THE CARBURETTOR NEEDLE JET IS WORN AND REALLY IT NEEDS A NEW KIT ( VERY CHEAP AND AVAILABLE ) AS IT LIKES THE CHOKE OUT TO KEEP IT TICKING OVER . BRAND NEW SPARE (NOT FITTED) AND REQUIRES A FRESH MOT . ROAD TAX IS OF COURSE FREE.

TO SUM UP. I AM MOVING FAR SOONER THAN EXPECTED ( FAR SOONER !. AND CAN PROVE ) PLUS I'M LOSING THE STORAGE AND IF TRUTH BE TOLD. nbsp;I NO LONGER HAVE THE INTEREST OR DESIRE TO CONTINUE WITH ALL MY OLD CARS AND PROJECTS. I HAVE BEEN AROUND CARS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE. BUT AT 54 IT'S TIME TO TAKE STOCK OF ONES LIFE. WE ARE ONLY HERE ONCE AFTER ALL ! . TWO "BIG PLAYER" CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS I ATTEND HAVE GIVEN ME REALISTIC VALUES BASED ON WHAT THEY HAVE ACHIEVED FOR THESE IN THE CURRENT MARKET. I'M NOT GREEDY. BUT I'M NOT A FOOL EITHER. THIS WILL MAKE SOMEONE A BRILLIANT LITTLE RUN AROUND WITH VERY LITTLE TO DO TO GET HER ROAD WORTHY AGAIN. ( A WEEKEND? ) IT'S NOT PRISTINE. IT'S NOT A CONCOURS SHOW CAR. nbsp;IT'S NOT A NUT "N" BOLT RESTO.  IT' "IS". A VERY GOOD USABLE EXAMPLE THAT WILL ONLY EVER GO UP IN VALUE. . EVERYONE SAYS THAT. BUT THESE REALLY WILL. AND ARE. YOUR MONEY IS SAFER HERE THAN IN GOLD ! AND THAT'S A FACT.   

PHONE ME IF YOU WANT ANY OTHER DETAILS. OR COME AND SEE IT IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING. NOT JUST FOR A CHAT MIND YOU !. TRAILER COLLECTION RECOMMENDED OR YOU DRIVE IT AWAY ON TRADE PLATES TOTALLY AT YOUR OWN RISK ! PLEASE DONT ASK "BUY IT NOW". YOU WANT IT ?. SIMPLY BID . OR TELL ME YOUR OFFER. YOU'RE BUYING IT. NOT ME ! AND PLEASE. PLEASE. DO NOT BID. WIN IT. AND THEN EXPECT TO TURN UP AND POINT OUT FAULTS OR HAGGLE ME DOWN. I WILL "NOT" BE AMUSED. WHY?. BECAUSE I GUARANTEE IT OWES ME MORE THAN YOU WILL BID THAT'S WHY !

 GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE GENUINE BIDDERS.
