HIGHLIGHTS

- Impressive history file

APPEAL
There’s something about the sight of a Morris Minor that conjures up wonderful memories of England in days gone by for so many. They are full of charm, cheap to run and with a plentiful supply of parts available, their simple mechanics make them easy to work on.
Owned it for 10 years by the previous keeper, ‘Mauve’ as she was affectionately christened, looks stunning from every angle, and when you draw a little closer, the attention to detail that the restorer has paid becomes evident.
With the Ash frame replaced in 2012 and a rather fetching paint job in Aqua, there are bills totaling £8000 on repairs, maintenance and upgrades so this little beauty has certainly seen some love over the years.

SUMMARY
A popular little car and for very good reason. Unfortunately, although many were produced, a large number were not properly maintained and were sadly left to rot. Lovingly cared for, this little Traveller has ironically done very little travelling in the last ten years, clocking up just 400 miles. Mauve is a very fine example that is ready to go and will undoubtedly turn heads on any outing you choose to take her on.

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.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
