*Low mileage

The Alec Issigonis designed Morris Minor has served a useful purpose as an everyday car since its introduction in 1948. The car was incredibly popular and versatile not just in saloon form, but in Traveller (Estate), panel van, and pick-up truck form too. This example is an tidy 1967 1000 Traveller that has only had one previous owner from new. The car was purchased by the vendor from his neighbour, and subsequently then restored over a 2-3 year period from 2012-2015. The mileage is also very low at only 70,500 miles, which is rare for a Traveller. The car features its original interior, which is overall in a good condition bar a small rip on the driver's seat. Outside, the car features its original wood frame and fresh powder coated wheels (with new tyres). The car has been unused for the last year, with the last MOT expiring in May 2020. In October 2019, the brakes and carbs were recommissioned, and the car received a full service at that time also. This is an honest example that offers potential for use as a fun classic runabout.
