1971 Morris Minor Traveller - modified £ 12,950

This car was first registered new, in Jersey, in January 1971. It has spent its entire life in the island (in the hands of just 4 owners), undergoing considerable modification during the 1990s. The original 1098 cc engine was replaced with a later, larger 1275 cc A-series engine, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The car has been regularly maintained in this guise and kept in fine condition, most recently having a full respray in 2021.

The full specification of mechanical changes is available on enquiry. All modifications appear well executed and as might be anticipated, the Minor drives very well, with a much more lively feel than a standard model.

A recent full respray gives the Traveller a first-class appearance and all brightwork is in a first-rate condition. The metal body of the car and important wooden elements are in very good condition. The underside of the car has been regularly wax-injected over the years and the wood frame sanded and re-oiled in 2021.

The interior of the Traveller has also received some attention, with the front seats having been replaced with larger, more supportive, adjustable and comfortable items; seat belts fitted front and rear; switchgear (indicator stalks) replaced with more modern items and a radio fitted.

This car has been carefully upgraded to make it much more usable in modern traffic conditions. The Traveller is spritely and very easy to drive, whilst at the same time looking smart and authentic in its Trafalgar Blue paint scheme. This is a vehicle ready to be pressed into regular use by a new owner.
