The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the red telephone etching Dark Blue bodbox and, with over 1. 3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The final iteration followed a year later and featured an increase in engine capacity to 1098cc, a modified facia layout with recessed centre section in textured steel, a return of a glovebox lid for the passenger-side cubby hole, improved heater and more contemporary-looking front light units.
This Minor was subject to a restoration started by it's last owner who acquired the vehicle nearly over 20 years ago and completed in 2016 costing some £8000, with details outlined in the extremely well organised history file. Fitted with Minilite style wheels, the car displays some 60, 160 credible miles and retains its original engine, although this has been refreshed and improved with uprated cooling. Offered with original buff log book, invoices. and old mots certificates. A lovely Morris minor waiting for its next owner with nothing needed to do except enjoy.
