The Appeal

If you know your early Minors, then you’ll know this is the one to have. It is a Series 2 fitted with the far superior A-Series engine and, as a ‘54, benefits from the lovely art deco-inspired gold-trimmed dashboard.

It is a lovely example that was been carefully restored by the previous keeper in 2012, including rebuild the 1,098cc engine and overhauling the brakes and suspension. It has been used and enjoyed since. Finished in classic black with a contrasting red vinyl interior, it appeals for its condition, ease of driving—for a 70-year-old car—and remarkable four-seat practicality. No wonder these are popular starter classics.

Buying a Moggy Minor makes you a member of a friendly and enthusiastic class of classic fans. That you can also use your car as a daily is an added bonus.
