1955 Morris Minor factory Convertible SOLD

Morris Minor factory convertible in exceptionally good condition. Previous owner spent over £12000 on a complete restoration by The London Minor Centre and the body work is still rock solid.
At the same time the car was fitted with a reconditioned 1098CC engine with lead free conversion and a brake servo kit was added.

The car is great fun to drive with sharp road holding, good brakes and a pleasing exhaust note.

The interior has been re trimmed with seats rebuilt and covered with quality material. four inertia reel seat belts are fitted, great for grand children and nervous elderly relatives. The paint is good and has a pleasing patina. Chrome work is excellent. In my ownership a new clutch and a rebuilt gear box from ESM has been fitted together with a new distributor.

We have recently completed a second French holiday and rally without serious problems. The car is not concours standard but it is used for local shows, shopping and collecting grand children. It is a very practical classic. There is a heritage certificate stating that the car was built as a tourer in December 1954.

This is a reluctant sale. My real interest is in 1920s cars and the Morris must go to make room for a new project. Please don't hesitate to ask for more details.
