The Appeal
Compact, characterful and endlessly usable, the Morris 6 CWT van has long held its place as a favourite among classic commercial enthusiasts. This 1959 example captures much of the enduring appeal of these cars — a no-nonsense utility vehicle with bags of charm and more than a hint of nostalgia.
The paintwork presents well in a deep green finish, and the body panels look tidy and straight. Its unadorned rear load space offers a clean, functional environment that’s ready to be pressed into service or kept as-is for display. Inside, it’s the same story — simple, honest and very much in keeping with the Morris Minor DNA.
In 2022 this stylish classic van received extensive mechanical renovations by a Morris Minor specialist. This work covered the engine plus a new clutch and a gearbox rebuild. It is said to run and drive very well.
With an engine bay that’s recently been cleaned up, and 2022 documentation for maintenance, this is an ideal van for local shows, commercial branding opportunities or just weekend pootling with something different.
