1957 Morris Minor 1000 SOLD

Super reliable solid tidy 1957 Morris Minor 1000 two door with the correct 948cc engine (the first year this was introduced). The car is in Birch grey, a rare colour which has a strong hint of green, and really grows on you. The interior is half leather, the front seats having been re-upholstered & the carpets replaced. It has the original semaphore indicators fully working as well as the latest invention, flashers!
I bought this car to go to France camping for a month & spent time servicing it, checking all components, I replaced the crankshaft with a reground crank & new shells from Bull Motif, and I am pleased to say that it covered 2700 documented miles without a hitch apart from having two new tyres fitted just South of Limoges (long story!)
Previous to my stewardship, the car had been owned for over ten years by a gentleman who had it maintained to a high standard (at some cost I should think) & had it waxoiled to death. Some welding has inevitably been carried out over the years, but to an incredibly high standard as can clearly be seen beneath the carpets.
In summary, this reliable car runs quietly & well with minimal oil consumption; obviously being a Morris it starts first time hot or cold no matter how long it is left. I hadn't planned to sell the faithful Morris, but I recently fell for a '57 MGA which I hope will serve me as well.

With its wood-panelled rear end, the Morris Minor Traveller was an icon of the British road scene from the 1950s to the 1970s – and in many ways it still is today. Based on the Minor saloon but with a structural timber frame to the rear, the Traveller was an extremely resourceful vehicle in its day and earned its place ...
