1953 Morris Minor Series II

This is a very solid example of an early Series II. These are very rare to find in this condition with the included upgrades. It was imported to the US in the late 80's and is therefore RHD. It has been upgraded with a very fresh (under 3000 mile 998cc engine and ribcase gearbox), all Minor 1000 suspension and brakes, including 4:22 rear end. The engine has been upgraded with an alternator, SU HF6, electronic ignition, auxiliary electric cooling fan with manual override, working turn signals (Series II did not have flashing indicators) Includes original (1000) wheels, tires and hub caps. Interior is all original and in good condition, but front seats would benefit from new covers. Steering wheel, dash and gauges are perfect.

This car is a great runner and reliable to drive anywhere. I've taken it to many shows.

I hate to sell such a great driver, but I need to downsize my collection.

Serious inquiries only, please.

1960 Morris Minor 1000
convertible "Claire"

For those uncertain as to value, here is the current evaluation by Hagerty on a Series II in stock trim (without all the upgrades and modifications. Please review the information when considering and offer.

#1 Concours $17,500
Condition #1 vehicles are the best in the world. The visual image is of the best vehicle, in the right colors, driving onto the lawn at the finest concours. Perfectly clean, the vehicle has been groomed down to the tire treads. Painted and chromed surfaces are mirror-like. Dust and dirt are banned, and materials used are correct and superbly fitted. The one word description for #1 vehicles is "concours."

#2 Excellent $12,900
#2 vehicles could win a local or regional show. They can be former #1 vehicles that have been driven or have aged. Seasoned observers will have to look closely for flaws, but will be able to find some not seen by the general public. The paint, chrome, glass and finishes will all appear as excellent. No excessive smoke will be seen on startup, no unusual noises will emanate from the engine. The vehicle will drive as a new vehicle of its era would. The one word description for #2 vehicles is "excellent."

#3 Good $7,400
#3 vehicles could possess some, but not all of the issues of a #4 vehicle, but they will be balanced by other factors such as a fresh paint job or a new, correct interior where applicable. #3 vehicles drive and run well, but might have some incorrect parts. These vehicles are not used for daily transportation but are ready for a long tour without excuses, and the casual passerby will not find any visual flaws. "Good" is the one word description of a #3 vehicle.

#4 Fair $5,400
#4 vehicles are daily drivers, with flaws visible to the naked eye. The chrome might have pitting or scratches, the windshield might be chipped. Paintwork is imperfect, and perhaps the body has a minor dent. Split seams or a cracked dash, where applicable, might be present. No major parts are missing, but the wheels could differ from the originals, or other non-stock additions might be present. A #4 vehicle can also be a deteriorated restoration. "Fair" is the one word that describes a #4 vehicle.
