She was laid up from 1975 to 2007 and had at that stage covered 41087 miles. In the cars history there is a picture of a very straight Morris minor after being exhumed from storage in her original light grey paintwork. The body work was completely stripped and restored and painted in Snowberry White as you see today, with photographic evidence and the mechanicals serviced. In 2013 she changed hands at circa 45, 000 miles and the then new owner had the carpets hood and leather trim refreshed as you see today. The hood is red and excellent matching the rest of the trim with clear back window, not shown in photographs.
