The Appeal
One of the most important - and certainly most recognisable - cars ever to leave a British factory, the Morris Minor really got Britain back onto the road after the Second World War, and continues to evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for anybody that knows them. This was a time when a simple, small car was all the public needed, and the Morris Minor delivered exactly that in spades.
The Minor has also proven exceptionally enduring. One of the best support networks in the world means that these cars can run and run, with their simple mechanics aiding them in becoming a perfect enthusiast classic.
This 1960 car was subject to a comprehensive, five-year restoration between 2014 and 2019, which even resulted in a feature in the legendary Minor Matters Magazine upon completion. A real slice of Best-of-British.
