  • In the ownership of the vendor since October of 1965

The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the Red telephone box and, with over 1.3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The final iteration followed a year later and featured an increase in engine capacity to 1098cc, a modified facia layout with recessed centre section in textured steel, a return of a glovebox lid for the passenger-side cubby hole, improved heater and more contemporary-looking front light units.

Boasting just one owner since 1965, this example of the ubiquitous ‘Moggie’ has been subject to restorations carried out in both 1989 and 2001 with invoices relating to the work on file. Currently registering c.10,600 miles we are advised a new speedometer was fitted in December 1993, when it obviously recommenced at zero. It is further accompanied by an original service book and a bill of sale. With little use in the past few years it will require recommissioning prior to use.
