Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
The ultimately cool British icon – we can't think of a better inexpensive summer runaround than this.
The Morris Minor is a British Classic that made its first appearance at the Earls Court Motor Show in London in 1948. This is the third series Minor known as the 1000 series in the very desirable convertible bodyshape. A broad range of colours and trim options were available which kept the car competitive and thus enable production volumes to increase and retain a significant share of the small car market.
Fitted with the newer 1098cc engine, a top speed of 73mph, producing 48bhp, combined with a revised gearbox allowed for more relaxed cruising speeds.
This "Moggie" started life as a fixed-head and was converted to a soft-top in 2003 with a bright red roof to match its interior. It's been owned and enjoyed by Paul for the past 17 years and due to moving house, Paul is looking for a like-minded Morris Minor fan to take over ownership.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Paul the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

I WANT ONEAsk Questions
Hi
I appreciate there is no requirement for an MOT but does the Minor have an MOT?
Is it currently taxed and in use or laid up?
Will you please send detailed close up pictures all round

Stephen – last MOT expired in May 2019 @ 78534 miles – mileage now 78699 – not taxed as it is exempt – all pictures taken by Trade Classics are on the web site – its running and is used now and again but not regularly enough – hence the sale
Hope this helps
Hi – it looks like the bottom of the rear quarter panel / sill on the driver’s side has had some filler work and the door been painted, perhaps by yourself or a previous owner. Obviously she will need some work, but how would you rate the condition of the sills overall and do you think welded repairs and / or replacement would be advisable soon?
Is there any rust on the sill panels underneath the sill kick plates?
Thanks
Hi Stewart – yes there appears to be some filler and paintwork carried out – but not in my ownership – its as it was when I bought it- and the condition of the sills generally seems ok – they have not deteriorated much as far as I can see over the last 14 years so I would think it could have plenty of miles in it before it needs any serious welding – hope this helps
