- Recent new water pump, radiator, front wheel cylinders, and hoses
- Pretty, solid car with scope to improve
- Simple, rugged and reliable Moggy Minor saloon
The Appeal
The humble Moggy Minor’s enduring popularity is easy to explain. There’s the stylish looks, the simple and rugged mechanicals and the sheer practicality. No wonder these cars are popular starter classics and that many remain in daily use.
Almond Green is one of the prettiest shades for these characterful cars. On this ‘65 it is combined with a matching light green vinyl interior, which appears to be largely original. It is a well kept and largely solid car, but one with scope to improve. As such it would make a great and straightforward winter project. With the added advantage that parts are readily available at good value prices.
It was used regularly up to July of last year, but has been unused and untested since. There is recently expired MOT that indicates the car is structurally sound. If you’re looking to start your classic adventure or an interesting winter project, this car looks tempting.
