Description
HERE is my 1964 Morris Minor Traveller. She looks stunning in her fresh paintwork and brand new wood all round. She has undergone restoration during the past six months and I was able to acquire her simply because the previous owner is losing his storage space.
She has been stripped down and put back together. The panels are excellent, as is the paintwork. And she has been painted properly too. For example, wings painted before being fitted and so on. She has brand new floor pans, a new fuel tank and is sound underneath. Her wood has been given a couple of coats of Osmo UVPC oil and so she looks bright and fresh but does have some protection. She is probably a weekend's work away from being the finished article. And, rather than me do all the work and then put up the price, I am moving her on as she is. She needs the new headlinings fitted. They are still in their packs (front and rear sections) and some with the car. The new wooden hoops are already in place on the roof's interior. Wheel cylinders are sticking and brake pedal is hard. Wipers and indicators are not working but headlights are. Now, that's pretty much about it following my inspection of the vehicle. She is on the key and drives. There are plenty out there for sale at five-figure sums and with a few bits and pieces sorted, this old girl will stand her own against many of the top notch brigade. Irresistible at the price I am asking.
As with all my classic cars, I regard them as the equivalent of motoring antiques. Even the very best available cannot be perfect. Since the motor car was invented, vehicles have ceased to be perfect once they leave the dealer's showroom. I do not like concourse classics, and have little time for those who take them to shows on trailers, clean the tyre treads with a toothbrush and then sit po-faced at the front of their vehicle all day. Classic cars are to be loved, enjoyed, driven, improved, repaired, tinkered with and hopefully pampered. Even the best will show some signs of wear and tear commensurate with their age. Do not expect a 50-year-old car to be in the same condition as your wife's 6-month old Range Rover. Although I suppose some could actually be in a superior condition come to think of it (sorry, joke!). I love my Georgian dining table, despite all its centuries of repair work. If had wanted a new table then maybe I should have gone to Oak Furniture Land!
