1961 Morris Minor 1000 Four Door Saloon

Highlights

  • Upgraded to 1098cc engine and later gearbox
  • Brake servo, telescopic dampers and other upgrades fitted
  • Exterior treated to a bare metal respray

The Appeal

The once-ubiquitous Morris Minor was hugely a successful model in the British Motor Corporation range, being the first British car to sell over a million units. They remain extremely popular to this day, with a loyal following and almost unparalleled parts availability. 
This particular Morris benefits from being fitted with a later 1098cc engine and gearbox to give it a little extra power. A brake servo has also been fitted and the paint has been resprayed, onto a bare metal shell. 
So this is now a very practical and drivable example of a Morris Minor, which should be easy to drive in modern traffic. It will be sure to brighten your day when you hear the distinctive burble form its exhaust and it will certainly raise a smile from onlookers in the street.
