The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Over this car's life, it has had a few loving owners 
• Thanks to this there is a small collection of paperwork 
• Within this, you’ll find the usual V5 and older MOT certificates
• There is the current V5 and also one from a previous life 
• Made out to Jaguar Land Rover it appears that this car would’ve part of their collection 
• This V5 is further backed up by a sticker within the driver's door which states JLR Property
• Along with these, there is also a Heritage Certificate
• Amongst the invoices present, you’ll find one from 2021 which shows some new brake calipers and handbrake cables 
• In the same year, it also has s new thermostat fitted, a radiator cap, and a couple of radiator hoses 
• This year, in January, there is an invoice for a new clutch, clutch fork, and flywheel 
• There is also an invoice from 2007 which shows some welding being carried out
• Now it is your time to get behind the wheel of this wonderful classic 

The Interior

• Inside a Morris Minor is very to the point 
• A testament to simple, no-frills motoring it is a very endearing interior 
• A few creature comforts are present such as the Smiths heater
• There is also a modern radio fitted under the dashboard
• Looking at the seats we can see that they are presented well
• Trimmed in red vinyl the front two seats shouldn’t need any work 
• In the rear, there is one slight mark to the vinyl but hopefully, this should be an easy fix
• Much like the seats, the door cards are finished in the same sort of red vinyl
• In good condition also, they shouldn’t need any work either 
• Up top, the headliner is in good condition as well
• To match the seats, and door cards, the carpets are also presented in a nice striking red 
• The dashboard of a Morris Minor is a very simple affair 
• With one large speedometer and a few toggles the only real features 
• At the rear is the section that makes the Traveller, a Traveller
• A large section for all of your picnic gear
• Accessed by barn doors it is a big space for all your classic motoring needs 

The Exterior 

• Externally the Morris Traveller is an instantly recognisable classic
• Its bubbly front end and rear wooden section it is a real looker
• This example is presented in good exterior condition 
• Some areas of wood will need renovating
• The paintwork across the board is in good condition 
• With a few minor bubbles in places, it does look okay on the whole 
• The wooden section might need some attention though
• It does look like one of the longer sections on the rear has been replaced
• On the day of the photoshoot the English weather had come to play and as such the rear barn doors were a little sticky, but this is only expected in the weather
• You will be getting one great looking car to add to your collection 
• With a little work over the winter, you may even have a show winner

The Mechanics 

• Under the sculpted bonnet, you find a rather familiar BMC engine 
• The 1.1l BMC A-Series looks rather neat indeed
• Finished in a fetching green paint it is a pretty little engine
• The engine fitted to this car appears to be in great condition
• It started up first time on the day of the photos 
• It then pulled forwards and backward into the right spot for the photos
• Some recent work was carried out to a couple of key components
• Firstly, the brakes have been overhauled giving you some confidence that it’ll stop 
• Secondly, the clutch has been replaced 
• Both of these jobs can be expensive, so it is great to see they’ve already been completed
• Another bonus for this car is that, due to its age, it is MOT exempt 
• Getting out on the road with this classic will be a joy that’ll never be forgotten
