1971 Morris Minor 1000 'Traveller'
Lot details
Registration No: JWB 988
Chassis No: TBC
MOT: Exempt
Motor Vehicle Location: South Yorkshire
Presented in Old English White with contrasting black interior and green carpets Subject to wood having been dried, with 2 coats of wood preserver, 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of varnish applied. Offered with 75,454 recorded miles
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. more than 1.6 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972 in three series: the MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956), and the 1000 series (1956 to 1971).
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.
Presented in Old English White with contrasting black interior and green carpets, JWB 988 has recently been subject to the wood having been dried in a spray oven, before 2 coats of wood preserver, 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of varnish applied. The vendor rates the condition of the paintwork, transmission and interior trim as ‘Average’, with the bodywork, engine and electrical equipment ‘Very Good’. Included with the vehicle is a small collection of paperwork, including the v5 document and the odometer reads 75,454 miles.
