MORRIS 1000 FACTORY CONVERTIBLE 1963 SERVICED & MOT’d + SEAT BELTS
Bought new on the 6th March 1963 this genuine factory convertible has had just 5 owners over the last 61 year. Sold with a current MOT to July next year and just been serviced. Please don’t miss our comprehensive YouTube demonstration video which shows the car in its entirety, driving, being driven and the underside.
It starts instantly and runs well, good clutch with no slip or judder and it stops well (again please see the video), handbrake is good, all the head / side lights, wipers, washers, horn, wind down windows, quarter lights, door catches and locks all work as intended, both doors open easily and click shut and stay shut, it all locks up including the boot and petrol cap.
There is no breathing from the oil filer cap when running, we have completed a compression check on all 4 cylinders, also an oil pressure check on a modern test gauge and checked the antifreeze mixture, all fine. It drives well with no wander at the steering wheel and no veering if you brake hard, its sitting on very good set of tyres all with ample tread and no signs of age cracks.
Recent investment includes a new hood and new carpets, the hood folds down and up again with no effort, also has new chrome trims on the bumpers. Just had new oil, oil filter, spark plugs, air filter, HT leads, points and condenser fitted (a full engine service), plus new bump stops and “U” bolts fitted on the rear axle. The seats are all very presentable, no splits or cracks, the door cards and rear panels are all presentable and it has 4 three-point seat belts fitted.
Currently showing only 11195 miles, unconfirmed. The car is HPI clear, we have the full current logbook, despite being tax & MOT exempt it has current Mot to 15th July 2025, the road tax is free, classic insurance should be a round £100 for most drivers over 25. Parts are readily available and there are a multitude of clubs, rallies, regional and national groups for these charming little cars.
The paintwork is very good, the odd imperfection will be found on very close inspection. Bright work is all good, some parts newer and some slightly aged but all perfectly fine. In the boot is a spare wheel and some other bits and bobs.
A genuine factory-built tourer, current MOT, serviced and ready to enjoy.
