The Appeal

Simple, stylish, rugged and with excellent, inexpensive parts supply, it’s easy to see why the humble Moggy still has such strong appeal to established and new enthusiasts alike. It’s a testament to the car’s durability and the support available that many remain as daily drivers.

This attractive white two-door would make a great introduction to classic motoring. It is an older restoration that was acquired by the current keeper last year. Since then over £2,500 has been invested in paintwork, welding, mechanical repairs and servicing. An unfortunate change of circumstances means it is now for sale.

Here is a chance to acquire a complete 1000 where a lot of the work has already been done. Although it is MOT exempt, there is a useful March 2026 MOT test setting out some jobs for the buyer to consider when making it better.

The vendor says:

“Engine starts and works fine and in tidy condition. Very nice looking MM, she’s admired wherever she goes, a sad sale.”
