The Appeal
The Morris Minor is the ultimate British expression of austerity and ingenuity. These characterful British Cars are often credited with getting the nation off its knees following the Second World War, and remains one of the most accessible, enduring classics on the market. The desirable Convertible offered an open-top experience for peaceful summer journeys on twisty B-Roads, and has become one of the most favoured amongst the much-loved lineage.
This 1956 example, affectionately nicknamed "Winnie" by its owner, benefits from a larger-capacity Minor 1000 engine, offering a useful step up in performance over the original unit. It's an eminently drivable, and loaded with personality - a great addition to any enthusiast's fleet. image.png1.82 MB
