The Appeal

The Minor convertible is so distinctive yet so unassuming that it never fails to draw attention and smiles. That is the experience of this lovely convertible’s sellers, who reports that it has made every journey a memorable experience and added a special touch to their lives.

Leafing through the photographs you can see why. The black finish is a stylish, understated alternative to the more common colours and works very well with the recently retrimmed tan interior. This car is not a genuine factory Tourer but the conversion has been done very well and it has clearly been cared for.

This much-loved classic is only for sale due to the seller’s impending loss of garage space. Recently serviced with a new clutch in 2023, it is ready to use, enjoy and bring smiles to buyer and passers-by.
