1959 Morris Minor 1000. LP936 Wheels. DEPOSIT TAKEN SOLD

DEPOSIT TAKEN ON VEHICLE.

For reluctant sale is my 1959 Morris Minor 1000, two-door in British Racing Green. After 8 years of ownership, I no longer have the time to give it the care it needs, so it is time for a new home.

The wheels are genuine Morris LP936, which cost me a small fortune to buy, have blasted and powder-coated and fitted with 4 new Toyo tyres. All 4 tyres still have excellent tread. These wheels are incredibly rare.

The engine was fully reconditioned and rebuilt in 2016/ 17, all machining carried out by Classic & Modern, the A-series specialist. It was lightly tuned in keeping with period spec:

Over-bored to 1180. 12G940 small-valve head (Mini Cooper, fully reconditioned). All new internals and ancillaries, upgraded where necessary. Electronic Ignition. Mini Cooper intake and carburettor, Maniflow tubular manifold and exhaust. Cam profile is the same, resulting in an engine that revs much more freely and has more torque than the standard 1098, without any extra noise or idling issues. Much more suited to modern traffic.

Gearbox remains original (1098), this is not a race-car, I have never taken it over 4000rpm.

Other improvements include:

Brakes upgraded to 8" and servo fitted. Rear dampers upgraded. Suspension bushes changed to poly where appropriate. Halogen lighting. Tacho and water temp guages. All glass seals replaced. New carpets.

The car is MOT exempt, however for peace of mind I have it MOT'd every year, approx 7 months left until current one expires.

Thousands spent on upkeep over the years, at specialists like Minor Millenium, Chertsey Minors and yearly serviced with a local expert. No expense spared for maintenance; I had a lot of work done to the underside, including new cross-member ends. Big old pile of receipts to show.

Speedo is not original (later model to match the later engine) so I am afraid the mileage of 27800 is unlikely to be accurate.

The paint is not original, it shines up beautifully as the pictures show, but there are a number of imperfections. The bodywork is not in showroom condition, hence the reduced price. Please come and inspect to make your own mind up.

Unfortunately someone reversed into the rear bumper and bent it, again I have allowed for this in the price.

The head-lining has a small (6") tear that has been repaired before, it could do with a new patch.

There are endless details that I will have missed so please do give me a call to chat about the car, or come for as long a viewing as you wish.

If you wish to test-drive the car, you will need a temporary, comprehensive policy for this car, not just fully-comp on your own vehicle. I have bought these in the past for around £10. Otherwise I will be happy to take you for a spin, following government advice re: Covid-19. Face masks, windows open and I will wipe down all surfaces between drives.

I will not sell the wheels separately as this is too much hassle. I do have the original wheels in a lock-up (tyre condition unknown) which you are welcome to if you wish to sell the car on yourself.

Any questions, please ask. Payment by bank transfer please, we have wifi here for phone/ laptop.

Many thanks,

Edward
