Description
How cute is this? This is a lovely litle 1969 Morris Minor 1000 Deluxe 4-Door Saloon, a very late car, finished in Peat Brown with Chariot Red Interior! Perfect sixties colours! She is an older restoration that still presents well with a huge service history! Showing 90k Miles on the clock, this is a lovely solid, well sorted Moggie, ready for the summer!
Arguably the fondest-regarded of all Britain's post-war saloons, the Alec Issigonis-designed Morris Minor was launched at the 1948 Motor Show. The first new post-war Morris design, the unitary construction Minor boasted torsion bar independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering and a four-speed synchromesh gearbox. Powered initially by the company's 918cc sidevalve four, the Minor received an 803cc overhead-valve engine in 1953. A pair of two-door models was offered initially: a saloon and a convertible. A four-door saloon appeared in 1950, estates and commercials following later. In 1956 the Minor 1000 with 948cc A-Series engine appeared, and the model received a further capacity boost (to 1, 098cc) in 1962. Despite the many changes the final Minor remained recognisably the same car as the 1948 original. By the time production ceased in 1971, more than 1. 5 million Minors of all types had been sold.
Our car was first registered on the 2nd September 1969 and has had 6 owners in its lifetime. This little moggy was fully restored about 15 years and still presents nicely, although you will not win awards for sure, it is a delightful useable car in a really sold condition, driving great and ready for its next owner! The colours of Peat Brown with Chariot Red are super period and look great on the car! A cheap little Part Exchange looking for a new home!
