1961 Morris Minor - Much Loved For Sale

After much deliberation and one almighty false start, I have decided to test the market with "Daisy", as christened by my predecessors.

She is a 1961 genuine convertible as opposed to a saloon with the top chopped off. The number plate suggests 1965 but she spent the first four years post-manufacture in Jersey. I have owned her a little under two years, and in that time I have completed the following:

New coil
Alternator conversion (dynamo bodied so it still looks original)
Replacement trafficators with period Lucas switch
Original (every last bit from Lord knows how many other card) duotone interior fitted
Brakes overhauled
2 x full services
Electronic ignition
MOT to July this year

And a whole host of other bits 'n bobs that I can't recall but there are invoices for everything in the history file.

That file stretches back to the late 1970s and includes many MOTs and service records. There is also a copy article that the last owner had published in (I think) The People's Friend.

I've touched up areas of paintwork (not showroom but not bad) and she runs beautifully now.

I should add that the badge bar is included but not the badges.

A lovely, lovely car that so many hours have been invested in that I am saddened to write this, but I have enjoyed the tinkering more than the driving. Another Minor beckons as long as it needs work and has no roof.

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 ...
