Description
We are delighted to offer for sale this Morris Minor 1000 Convertible.
Converted 21 years ago and updated and upgraded for fun since then, it goes, sounds, corners and stops better than when it left the factory.
Kept in a garage and not getting out much, it needs someone to love it AND use it!
