The ash frame (replaced in the 1990's) is in good order throughout and perfectly presentable. There is some filler but is solid throughout. The bodywork is also presentable, however, the drivers door bottom is starting to bubble up as is the passenger door. There are the usual marks and scuffs around the car.

The chassis, floor, spring hangers and cills are all solid throughout.

Great advertising tool that is also practical and great fun to drive.

Our 'Bessie' can be used and improved over time and there is plenty of scope to add value at this price, and they are only going ONE WAY ~ UP!!!!

Performs particularly well on the road with the distinctive, glorious and all-important Morris Minor exhaust reverberation sound. The braking is excellent and the car pulls well through the gears. It’s clear to see why these little gems have achieved iconic classic status and are the prefect entry into classic motoring.


These Travellers are going up in value year on year so is a sure fire investment opportunity, as of course, an enjoyment opportunity.
