Morris Minor 1966 - restored with upgrades For Sale

1966 Morris Minor 2 Door Saloon - Trafalgar Blue - 1098cc engine (qualifies for low cost classic car insurance and free car tax)

Mileage is 95273 (this will increase as I prefer to use the car rather than let it stand).

MOT - Feb 2018

Lovely example of this popular classic car. It's previous owners have done extensive restoration work and improvements to make it a reliable everyday classic. It is a delight to drive.

The car has a history file going back to 1978. This includes letters showing that in 2009 it was taken to Charles Ware for restoration work on the body and some upgrades (the company confirmed this, but wouldn't go into further detail on the phone). Consequently the bodywork is very solid all over - wings, doors etc. Underneath it has complete floorpans and sills - not the usual patchwork of welding often found on these cars.

The car has telescopic dampers fitted to the front and rear and a front anti-roll bar. This transforms the handling compared to a standard set up.

The car also has had a servo assisted Morris Marina front disc brake conversion - with a remote brake & clutch reservoir fitted in the engine bay.

Bodywork:
The car looks very presentable. It has four small rust scabs and some marks (which I was going to tackle this summer) none of which detract from the overall appearance - it has attracted many favourable comments at classic car events. The car has been recently professionally undersealed - wax cavity injected.

Interior:
Looks original and is clean. Recently fitted new carpets and bespoke rubber mats. I have had a new foam and base fitted to the drivers seat and new glove box liners fitted.

The previous owner carried out extensive work on the car (with the help of his car mechanic father). His intention was to keep it looking original, but turn it into a car a bit more suitable for everyday use this includes the following:

New wiring loom
New indicator stalk
New battery
Halogen headlights
Reconditioned/ rebuilt engine - with unleaded cylinder head (small oil leak on timing cover gasket - could fix or just leave)
New starter motor
New clutch
New Accuspark 45D4 electronic distributor with new coil and ignition leads
New Accuspark 18 ACR 65 amp alternator
Car converted to negative earth
Two 12v sockets fitted - with two usb sockets to charge your phone etc.
Hazard warning lights (indicators repeatedly flash)
New radiator and water pump
New radiator support/ slam panel
New heater (this is a more powerful upgrade - really chucks the hot air out!) and heater valve
Rebuilt carburettor
Rebuilt fuel pump
New fuel lines
New throttle and choke cables
New shelving panels in boot
New windscreen wiper blades
New number plates
New front seat belts (these are the modern inertia reel type)
Wheels shotblasted and repainted
New door locks fitted
Stainless steel window frames from a Traveller fitted - with round wing mirrors
Professionally rustproofed - undersealed / cavity injected with waxyoil to renew the previous rustproofing.

The car has virtually new Toyo radial tyres fitted (I had new rear tyres fitted recently) - the spare is also new.

I will be including a new Haynes Manual and the official Morris Garages Workshop Manual.
