The Appeal

A once-ubiquitous sight on British roads, the Morris Minor has become something of an icon in the world of classic motoring. And the commercial variants are particularly desirable today for their retro styling and versatility. Parts availability for the Morris Minor is second to none, and they are easy to work on and maintain.

This pick-up is a great example, finished in Clipper Blue and retaining its removable vinyl sign-writing. A few period extras such as the sun visor and headlamp cowls add to its charm and the matching blue interior looks eminently useable. It reportedly received a new chassis in the 1980s and has previously undergone a full restoration.

So this is a great chance to own a distinctive classic, perfect for advertising your business, or simply to be enjoyed as a charming part of our automotive heritage.
