THE CAR ALWAYS BRINGS AN INSTANT AND ENDURING SMILE OF PRIDE AND SATISFACTION. IT ALSO WITHOUT DOUBT, REPRESENTS A VERY GENUINE PIECE OF BRITISH MOTORING HISTORY. THE MORRIS WHILE A 58 YEAR OLD HISTORIC CLASSIC VEHICLE AND THEREFORE MOT, ULEZ CONGESTION AND TAX EXEMPT, NONETHELESS, WILL COME TO IT'S NEW OWNER WITH A FULL MOT.
THIS LITTLE GEM WAS FIRST REGISTERED ON 2 MAY 1968 AND HAS HAD MERELY 7 KEEPERS IN ITS 58 YEAR HISTORY. THE CAR IS PART OF A PRIVATE COLLECTION AND HAS ONLY BEEN USED SPARINGLY IN DRY/ WEATHER CONDITIONS. INDEED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THIS CHERISHED CAR HAS SEEN MINIMAL USE. THE MORRIS AS IT PRESENTS TODAY, IS A CREDIT TO ITS KEEPERS AND THE MARQUE. IT IS ALSO A CLEAR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ALIGNED TO IN-EXPENSIVE CLASSIC CAR OWNERSHIP, ENJOYMENT WITH NATURAL PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP AND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED A GENUINE PIECE IF BRITISH MOTORING HISTORY. CURRENT TOTAL MILEAGE IS 115, 558 WHICH EQUATES TO LESS THAN 2000 MILES PER ANNUM.
IT IS A REQUIREMENT OF C&C LISTINGS TO INVITE OFFERS. ANY OFFERS FOR THIS VEHICLE REQUIRE TO BE CLOSE TO THE ASKING PRICE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THANK YOU. THE MORRIS MINOR IS AN ECONOMY CAR PRODUCED BY BRITISH MARQUE MORRIS MOTORS BETWEEN 1948 AND 1971. IT MADE ITS DEBUT AT THE EARLS COURT MOTOR SHOW, LONDON, IN OCTOBER 1948. DESIGNED UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF ALEC ISSIGONIS, MORE THAN 1. 6 MILLION WERE MANUFACTURED IN THREE SERIES: THE SERIES MM (1948 TO 1953), THE SERIES II (1952 TO 1956), AND THE 1000 SERIES (1956 TO 1971).
INITIALLY AVAILABLE AS A TWO-DOOR SALOON AND TOURER - CONVERTIBLE, THE RANGE WAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE A 4-DOOR SALOON FROM SEPTEMBER 1960. AN ESTATE CAR WITH A WOODEN FRAME (THE TRAVELER) WAS PRODUCED FROM OCTOBER 1953 AND PANEL VAN AND PICKUP TRUCK VARIANTS FROM MAY 1953. IT WAS THE FIRST BRITISH CAR TO SELL OVER A MILLION UNITS AND IS CONSIDERED A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF BRITISH AUTOMOTIVE DESIGN.
