1968 Morris Minor 1000 – very original SOLD

For sale is my 2 door Minor saloon. The car is in extremely original, unrestored condition, having needed very little work over the years, and is a really honest, solid example. I recommissioned it 18 months ago, following 30 years in dry storage, and parts I replaced included the brake master cylinder and all wheel cylinders, brake flexi hoses, water pump, radiator and all hoses, including to heater.
All front suspension bushes were also replaaced(with poly bushes), seat webbing was replaced, and 4 brand new tyres were fitted. I also Waxoyled the car throughout, including inside all chassis legs, sills etc., as well the underside.

The car drives fantastically, better than any of the other 6 Minors I've owned, and this is likely due in part to the genuine 62, 000 miles from new (10, 000 of which I've covered in the last 18 months). The engine (1098cc) and gearbox are original and excellent, the diff is quiet and everything works as it should. The underside is in excellent condition – crossmember, chassis legs etc are all original, and the sills were in excellent condition when I took the cover plates of to rustproof them. The interior is also in very nice original condition. The only downside is that the paintwork is not as good as it could be, with some micro-blistering, and there are some light areas of surface rust (none of these are more than surface rust). The rear nearside wing has a small dent from when thieves broke in to my garage and whacked the car, which was in the way.

MoT until August (will happily provide car with 12 months' MoT if it sells for the asking price).

3 owners from new (including me), original green log book and some history and MoTs from up until when the car was laid up in the early 80s.
