Beskrivning
Please note - we are advertising this car on behalf of the owner - call for his details. The car is located in Leek, Staffordshire.
MGP351 is a 1951 Minor two door saloon. The V5 states manufactured 1950 but it is actually a 1951 model.
It was restored around ten years ago including a re-paint with various new panels, an engine overhaul, brake overhaul and various other new parts including five new Bridgestone radial tyres a rebuilt carburettor and re-cored radiator.
As you can see from the photos, it presents well. Other than various minor flaws close up, the paint is good as are the body and underside and the floors under the carpets. The interior is also in good if not perfect condition and the original trafficators are fully working.
On the road, this MM drives well with a smooth engine with strong oil pressure and no crunches from the gearbox. Driving a side-valve Minor takes a little practice but once mastered they are easily capable of keeping up with traffic and a fairly tall top gear allows them to cruise at reasonable speed.
This car has had a substantial amount of re-commissioning recently - too much to list here but including brake work, replacement dampers, engine and gearbox oil change and new plugs.
This early Minor clearly offers good value. It is in good rather than perfect condition and offers a high degree of originality. The registration number is original to the car but is now non-transferable.
