1957 Low Mileage Morris Minor 2 Door. Exceptional. 10 months MOT For Sale

This delightful Clarendon Grey, 2 door Morris Minor rolled off the production line in Cowley on May 2nd 1957 and was owned by the Postmaster in the small village of Lower Moor in Worcestershire for 41 years. In 1998, the Morris Minor still with a low mileage of 43, 250 was reverently passed onto the Postmasters daughter owing to the failing eyesight of her father.

For 59 years the little Minor was in the same extended family, a daily driver, the only means of transport and treated as one of the family.

Now 63 years later, the Minor drives as well as it did when it came off the production line with no rattles or squeaks. There has been no welding and there is no corrosion. Sensible upgrades include an alternator, halogen headlights, modification of indicators and fitting of inertia reel seatbelts front and rear. There is evidence of repeated application of Waxoyle in cavities and underbody areas, which will have prevented corrosion as all body panels appear to be original. There is no evidence of the cylinder head having been removed, to carry out an unleaded head reconditioning, so petrol additive should be used by the next owner.

The dark red interior is original and unmarked and the carpets appear to have been replaced some years ago and are in good condition.

Further high resolution images of the Minor are available on request.

Conversion to LHD is possible and delivery to the UK ports of Portsmouth, Southampton and Poole is offered without cost.
