APPEAL
There’s something about the sight of a Morris Minor that conjures up wonderful memories of England in days gone by for so many. They are full of charm, cheap to run and with a plentiful supply of parts available, their simple mechanics make them easy to work on.
Owned it for 10 years by the previous keeper, ‘Mauve’ as she was affectionately christened, looks stunning from every angle, and when you draw a little closer, the attention to detail that the restorer has paid becomes evident.
With the Ash frame replaced in 2012 and a rather fetching paint job in Aqua, there are bills totaling £8000 on repairs, maintenance and upgrades so this little beauty has certainly seen some love over the years.

SUMMARY
A popular little car and for very good reason. Unfortunately, although many were produced, a large number were not properly maintained and were sadly left to rot. Lovingly cared for, this little Traveller has ironically done very little travelling in the last ten years, clocking up just 400 miles. Mauve is a very fine example that is ready to go and will undoubtedly turn heads on any outing you choose to take her on.
