Full of charm and character the iconic Morris Minor will raise smiles and turn heads wherever it goes. They are easy cars to run and maintain, with a plentiful supply of parts available, and the car’s simple mechanics can be worked on by even the most amateur enthusiast and they are great fun to own and drive.
Acquired only recently through a friend this lovely all original Morris Minor has been fully serviced, had new steering gaiters fitted and is now looking for a new owner.
*The odometer shows only 2,810 miles but looking through the on-line MOT history the mileage shown is not the car’s true mileage.
The original red interior still looks inviting and full of character but does show some signs of its age and use over the years. The door cards are all pretty good and the seats, once given some TLC, should scrub up well and the carpets are all good too.
The headlining has a small rip but the whole interior, although basic, is full of charm and character and is a welcoming and cosy environment to be in.
The familiar classic dashboard with its large solo central dial and the various toggle switches all look good and all work.
Finished in a grey-blue the original paint has faded a bit in places but overall presents itself really well but it is beginning to show some bubbling paint on a few body panels as you’d expect to find on an un-restored car of this era.
The chrome trim around the car is all complete, showing the odd sign of aging, but overall, it looks fairly good, the window seals all look functional, and the wheels and hub caps are fairly good too.
The Morris Minor starts easily on the first turn of the key and drives really well, and although there is no service history as such with the car, it has the look and feel of a well cared for example of this popular British classic
This is a nice original example of the very recognisable and charismatic Morris Minor that would make a great first classic car that is very reasonable to run and great fun to drive.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

£0 to £9,999
£100.00

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
