Lot details Registration No: NVS 200 Chassis No: M/A2S3-835520 Mot Expiry: None
In the 1920s, commanding a 41 per cent market share, Morris Motors of Cowley were the UK's number one car maker. One of the most enduring of our postwar classics has been the Alec Issigonis engineered Morris Minor. The great man's basic concept and straightforward technical layout was spot-on, Minors not only being an economic proposition for the Morris bean counters to sanction their manufacturer, but also because private punters could afford to buy and run them in very large numbers over many years with relatively easy to achieve upgrades.
Although the most recent MOT expired last September, this 1960-built Minor 1000 in light green with green leather interior trim has spent a number of recent years in barn-storage. According to the vendor, although the BMC A Type 948cc 4-cylinder engine reportedly runs and the righthand drive 4-door saloon with 4-speed manual gearbox does drive, nonetheless some restoration work will be needed. This entirely practical classic is being auctioned entirely without reserve, however, and therefore will be knocked down today to the highest bidder.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
