Ah the Morris Minor. Stalwart of the scene and denizen of car shows the world over for decades the humble Moggy has rightly earned its place as one of the most charming and characterful classics of all time.
With plenty to choose from there's a Morris Minor to suit all tastes and budgets, too. Great fun to drive, easy to tune and maintain, simple to work on and with a great support network to boot, owning one makes a lot of sense and you could do a hell of a lot worse than this rather lovely 1969 example.
Being a Series V, which is the best of the bunch if you ask us, it comes equipped with the far more capable 1,098cc A-Series engine which provides plenty of poke to keep up with modern traffic (48bhp to be exact), as well as a host of other upgrades, including larger brakes, which makes this era of Minor far more usable today.
Finished in a rather attractive maroon, this Moggy has been previously restored – a process that was completed in 2006 – and as such presents in wonderful condition throughout. An original example that has seen limited use the car has been well cared for and meticulously maintained with supporting paperwork as proof, ensuring that it will continue to provide miles and miles of joyous service to whomever should be lucky enough to acquire it next.image.png3.38 MB
