Sale price: £5,250.00 make an offer

Car location: Telford, Shropshire, United Kingdom

Seller's notes: For sale is my modestly modified Morris Minor. A 1962 model she is listed on the MMOC 'dual personality' register as she has the single piece windscreen but still has clap hand wipers, and has one of the last of the beautiful 3 spoke chromed steering wheels before they introduced the bakelite ones. She has absolutely no structural rust or mechanical problems, starting and running first time every time whatever the season. This car is completely reliable and suitable for use on today's roads, I've driven her from the Channel to John O Groats, used her as a wedding car and drive her whenever I can. She still polishes up nicely so I have resisted the temptation to respray her so far.

I have spent a great deal of money on this car. much more than I am going to get back when I sell her. In addition to being rust free (something you can easily inspect as she isn't covered in rust proofing - I'd rather see what was going on and deal with it than cover it in gunk and hope) she has been largely rewired to support the numerous modifications. She is fitted with a reconditioned 1300 engine from a Morris Marina (15000 miles since) and the stronger 1098 gearbox. I have also had the differential replaced for peace of mind. This enables her to keep up with the traffic and even do motorway speeds though I consider that a little unkind on an old lady! There is a 'performance' exhaust and K&N carburettor to support this. The brakes are servo assisted with braided hoses and a front anti roll bar is fitted. She has 4 inertia reel seat belts too. There is electronic ignition to replace the old dynamo system. decent headlights. hazard flashers. a reversing light. electric washers and heated screens both front and rear. A spark booster is also fitted. and a bigger battery to cope with it all. Finally a larger fuel tank is fitted to extend the range. and the carpet. front seats and door cards have been renewed.
What you are buying is a Morris that looks completely standard. but is more practical for regular use. a Morris that I like to think is something like the car they should have built if they had not adopted a take it or leave it attitude till it was left too far behind. A classless vehicle equally at home outside a country house or in an urban street she opens the door to many a conversation and is very good at being let out of side streets as everyone just grins at her!
All of the work has been done by professionals (Minor Miracles in Devon and a local independent workshop) which if I'm honest is why it works - I stick to the oil checks and greasing!
I have a few spares to throw in. and a roof rack and boot rack too.
