THE APPEAL

The Morris Minor is widely recognised as one of the great British motoring icons whose production spanned over 24 years. Available in several body styles ranging from the two-door saloon, pick-up, panel van, convertible, traveller (wooden rear frame) and this particular model, the four-door saloon.

This 1968 example has been with the vendor since 1998. During that time, the car has been used very little but has received a respray around ten years ago and has been given regular oil changes regardless of mileage.
