1959 Morris 1000 Factory Convertible – £19k Restoration For Sale

Morris 1000 Factory Convertible – £19k Restoration

The Morris 1000 debuted at the 1948 Earls Court motor show. It quickly became an iconic vehicle that was exported all over the world with over 1. 3million being manufactured before production ceased in 1972.

Originally manufactured on 11th July 1958 at the Morris Works (Cowley) this car was originally designated as a right hand drive export model. There is no factory record where the car was exported too but the Morris was subsequently registered in London under the Home Delivery Export Scheme in June 1978 when the owner returned to the UK.

The Morris was liberated from long-term storage in 2014 and the new owner despatched his new car (Bumble) to the highly respected Tim Lang Classics Ltd for a full restoration that cost in excess of £19, 000 – the quality of the work speaks for itself.

Their brief was to retain all original features including banjo steering wheel, semaphore indicators, “clapping hands” windscreen wipers etc. while replacing any items as required in order to ensure the car was safe/ a pleasure to use

Summary of Work:
·   Body panels replaced as required
·   Replacement seats, door cards, carpets
·   New hood
·   Engine rebuilt to 948cc unleaded specification
·   Front disc brakes with servo assistance
·   Electronic ignition
·   Flashing indicators fitted (in addition to semaphores)

On the road the car is a real pleasure to drive and copes admirably with the demands of modern driving conditions. Ready to be used as an everyday car or simply for pleasure we recommend early viewing in order to fully appreciate this stunning convertible
