The Appeal

There really was a Morris Minor for everyone - that's its genius. You could choose from a two-door saloon, a four-door saloon, a van, a pickup truck and even the rather unusual timber-clad traveller. But, the Morris Minor every collector clamours over is the convertible - which as a proper four-seater was a very impressive product for its time.

This 1967 example is anything but standard.

Who needs a Singer 911 or an Alfaholics Giulia GTV when this exists? This humble Morris now features the eminently tunable 2.0L Ford Zetec engine, a five-speed manual gearbox, strengthened bodywork, Spax suspension and uprated brakes. Unsurprisingly, it drives quite unlike any Minor you may have experienced before and it's bound to embarrass the occasional hot hatch at the traffic lights.

The 1967 Morris Minor Factory Convertible is a cherished classic that holds a special place in British automotive history. Known for its charming design and robust engineering, this particular model has been thoughtfully upgraded to meet modern driving standards while retaining its vintage appeal.

Very presentable bodywork and complete with a recent new hood, this Morris Minor convertible is very tempting...
