The evergreen Morris Minor is one of the most versatile and prolific classic vehicles ever made and was pretty much part of Britain’s street furniture throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
As well as the popular saloon, convertible and Traveller models, the versatile ‘Moggie’ was also sold as a commercial vehicle and offered as either a pickup truck or a panel van, which took the front of the car and mounted it to a bespoke squared off back end.
The van was popular with many customers including Royal Mail, the GPO and the AA, making it a vehicle that stirs up many memories for a great number of people. It was also hugely popular with small businesses, and still is today.
Here's an opportunity to buy your own, a vehicle that would make a brilliant promotional or advertising vehicle for a small business as well as being a genuinely useful classic. Unmolested and largely unrestored, XOG 522J has been fitted with a 1,275cc engine upgrade but remains standard in appearance. It’s the perfect stand-out promotional vehicle for a small business, or a multi-purpose and functional classic for an enthusiastic owner.
Tidy on the outside and with a gently worn and utterly charming patina within, here’s a great opportunity for any vintage or retro-themed business to buy a vehicle that really stands out, or for an enthusiast to have a classic they can happily take to shows at weekend and do the tip run with during the week. A multi-function, versatile and hugely characterful icon with bags of appeal, this is a charming example of an all-time British classic in straight, tidy and solid condition.

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.

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.
