THE APPEAL
As quintessentially British as Coronation Street and as iconic as Elton John, the Morris Minor is quite simply one of the most important cars to ever hit British roads. Affordable and versatile, the Morris Minor was very much a car for the normal person and for most, their very first insight into driving. With most families owning one at some point or another, the Morris Minor is a nostalgic reminder of a simpler analogue era.
The Traveller variant was first introduced in 1954, nicknamed ‘Woodies’ thanks to their distinctive aluminium and wood ‘dog house’ design they are now very sought-after classics, with well-presented and original examples proving to be the most desirable.
Registered April 1969, XPH690G is an excellent example of the model, with a beautiful exterior and original, slightly patina-kissed interior this Traveller would be a charming addition to any collection and a suitable vehicle for any level of enthusiast to facilitate.
