This white Morris Minor Traveller has received 2 phases of professional restoration in recent years, which are documented among the large collection of maintenance receipts. Work in 2018 included renewing the gearbox and clutch at a cost of over £2.5k, and a complete rebuild and respray in 2022 (including new front and rear wings, wheels and tyres) totalled over £9k. The history file also contains old MoTs going back to 1982, and previous & current V5Cs, tax discs, and a pair of workshop manuals. A chrome badge bar (not fitted) is also included.
The car's last (voluntary) MoT was passed with no advisories, and this expired in 2023. The vendor advises that it has not been in regular use recently and some recommissioning work will be required. “The engine runs ok for a short time then fuel does not get through.” The cause is believed that dirt in the fuel line or carb jet. Also the rear brakes operate on the handbrake only, as the rear fluid line has been cut/crimped and needs replacing (the front brakes operate with the pedal). The odometer is showing 72,017 miles and the V5C indicates 4 former keepers. The car was first registered on 22nd April 1969.
A practical classic, begging to be recommissioned and used.
