Morris 1000 Traveller – Lots of Work/ Lovely Example
The Morris 1000 debuted at the 1948 Earls Court motor show with the Traveller following in October 1953. The ‘Woodie’ quickly became an iconic vehicle that was exported all over the world until production finally ending in April 1971
Morris 1000 Travellers must be the most practical, user friendly, easy to live with starter classic and the perfect entry point for a first-time classic owner.
Milestones are delighted to offer for sale this 1970 Morris Traveller that we sold to the last owner around six years ago and presents extremely well following a restoration approximately 20 years ago.

Since restoration our Traveller has travelled just 8, 000 miles and presents extremely well following 20 years of careful use with a large measure of love – she will hold her head high at any classic car show.
On the road the car drives well and I would be happy to drive her anywhere – the Moggie 1000 exhaust ‘purp’ is the perfect classic soundtrack and comes for free!
Equally at home at summer shows, country pubs or running the recycling down to the local refuse centre we like this car a lot and expect her to find an appreciative new custodian quickly.
