Offered here is a superb and charming right-hand drive Morris Traveller that’s been the lucky recipient of a £20, 000+ restoration. The restoration was carried out over a five-year period finishing in 2009 and the results are clear to see today. It's finished in Almond green with a fresh porcelain green interior and the attention to detail throughout is impressive. The odometer shows 18, 874 miles, which could well be correct but can’t be warranted. It's supplied with an Owner’s Manual, a host of invoices from David MacHaye services going back many years and a selection of previous MOTs.
The car presents extremely well and has some very tasteful additions such as an alternator conversion and seat belts, which can if necessary be reversed to preserve the originality. The original features include sliding windows, floor start and heater. The attention to detail on this car needs to be seen to appreciate the expense that has been lavished on it over the years and preserved since.
