Lot 70
A 1963 Morris Minor Super De Luxe, registration number KFF 971, chassis number M/ A2S4-S-203648, engine number 8AMUH566683, Smoke grey. This charming Mini rolled off the Cowley production line on 14 June 1963, and was dispatched to its supplying dealer Westover Garage Ltd, Bournemouth five days later. The Morris was subsequently registered to its first owner in Weymouth on 27 August. Little is known of its early history until 1974, when it turned up in a previous ownership in Winsham, Somerset, painted light blue. The little Mini would remain this colour passing through several ownerships in Somerset, before passing into the ownership of Bob Moore from Melksham, Wiltshire, in 1995, who carried out a painstaking sympathetic restoration retaining as much originality as possible and returning the Mini to its original colour. The original restoration was transferred (VFX 253) to a Ford Fiesta in 1994 and the age related KFF 971, was issued which it still retained today. Our vendor purchased the Mini in 2004 and immediately christened it Bob in recognition of Bob Moore's hard work. In 2005, the engine was reconditioned with an unleaded compatible cylinder head and the gearbox was rebuilt. Since then, the Mini has been regularly maintained and used to attend classic car shows and Mini Club events. Accompanying the Mini to auction is a photographic record of the rebuild, old tax discs, receipts, previous MOTs, spares and period accessories. V5C, MOT to September 2018, tax exempt See illustration
£5, 000-7, 000 + 13. 2% Buyers premium (including 20% VAT)

Wow! That's expensive! Or is it? I have owned this car since 2016. I lavished a huge amount of money having the car transformed from, what was pretty much a shell, to this stunning vehicle that you see now. I bought this vehicle noticing that it had never ever been painted. I had most panels replaced, either British ...

The car belonged to my deceased father and had two previous owners. It has a full service history but has been unroadworthy lying in a garage for several years. Currently the body is in reasonable condition but the following will need attention: 1. The brakes probably need replacing. 2. The engine has seized. ...
