Debuting alongside Jaguar's superbly glamorous XK120 at the 1948 London Motor Show, the Morris Minor was somewhat overshadowed. An exceptionally advanced design, the Minor was the brainchild of Sir Alec Issigonis. With a monocoque chassis, independent torsion-bar front suspension, all-round hydraulic drum brakes and rack and pinion steering the model possessed excellent handling but lacked the horsepower to exploit it. However, things improved markedly when the four-cylinder 1098cc OHV A-series equipped Series V was introduced in 1962. With up to 45bhp and 60lbft of torque being transmitted to its rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, the Series V was reputedly capable of 77mph.

Recorded as first registered on the 1^st January 1970, this Traveller is finished in Smoke Grey with a Light Blue interior over White steel wheels. Still appearing very close to a ‘factory look’, it is fitted with the usual wing-top mirrors and the inside looks clean and quite fresh with its Light Blue carpeting, complementing the seats and interior door cards and panels. Offered with an impressive log of work carried out over the years, an original handbook, accessories brochure and the passport to service, the current V5C document is present along with a collection of old MOT certificates and invoices. There's even a 'service kit' that includes a radiator cap & fan belt. Described by the vendor as a well-maintained vehicle and said to drive 'very well', it will be driven to the sale. A picnic hamper is also included in the sale, perfect for long summer evenings.
