According to its BMIHT Factory Record, this Minor was a 948cc Series 3 De Luxe, completed on 11/ 12/ 1961 originally finished in Almond Green with a Porcelain Green/ Silver Beige interior, fitted with a Pearl Grey hood and despatched to The Ware Garages on 15/ 12/ 1961
It was purchased by our vendor in 2018 from marque specialists who had fully restored and re-trimmed the car and the invoice for £22, 700 is in the history file
He intended to tour Europe with the little Morris and immediately tasked Charles Ware's Minor Centre with fitting a number of upgrades (£4, 200)
These included front disc brakes, front and rear telescopic shock absorbers, an anti-roll bar, alternator, electronic ignition, Halogen headlamps, new Rev Tec cooling fan, phone power supply, DAB radio in the glovebox and underbody rust protection
With our vendor for seven years and used as intended including a 3, 500 mile European tour in Autumn 2018, as a wedding car in 2020 and otherwise garaged in Cornwall since
Fitted with a towbar/ bracket to support a bicycle rack
It was delivered to our pre-auction storage facility by our vendor who drove 300 miles from Cornwall for nine hours overnight - now that's confidence
Beautifully presented in Porcelain Green over a superb tan leather interior, we encourage your inspection of this very special Minor soft-top at our NEC Sale
