1959 Morris Minor 1000
Specifications
Description
As one of the most popular classic British saloons of all time, the much-loved Morris Minor needs little introduction!
This Issigonis-designed marvel is perhaps the most ubiquitous model of its generation; and as the first British car ever to sell more than a million units, it seems that just about everyone of a certain age has at some point traveled inside a Morris Minor.
Despite its age (the Series MM model was first unveiled in 1948), the Minor is still capable of being used on a regular basis, although it’s inevitably the 1956-on Minor 1000 that’s the most practical thanks to its extra power and performance.
ABOUT THIS CAR
- This most popular Minor variant – this four-door saloon has only traveled 107903 miles.
- It was registered new in New Zealand in May 1960 and has had 5 owners since - three long term, 22 years, 20 years and 18 years.
- This is certainly a very eye-catching example of a late-model Minor saloon, with beautiful paintwork.
- The interior of this particular Minor is stunning. Upholstery and door cards are in excellent condition. So is the headlining, carpets etc. The boot area is very tidy, and under the bonnet is also presentable.
- Looks like its been well cared for throughout its life.
- This wee Minor drives extremely well. Engine runs smoothly and seems well up on power, while the original four-speed gearbox still provides wonderfully slick changes. Any Minor is renowned for its precise (rack and pinion) steering, and this example is no exception; the all-drum brakes are also effective, while the Morris’ independent suspension ensures relatively roll-free cornering.
- Very nice Minor that shows no signs of wear in its driving style – and feels as though it has many more years of useful service ahead of it.
- Very beautiful example of this model.
- Odometer in Miles.
- Original Certificate Of Registration.
- Handbook, spare wheel, jack.
Of all the different versions produced throughout the long career of this Issigonis-designed best-seller, the Minor 1000 saloon is the most commonplace – and usually the most affordable, with asking prices well below those of a Traveler, Tourer or commercial version in similar condition.
This particular car is a stunning example.
Simply jump aboard and enjoy - a hassle free Minor that would be great to take on classic car runs and events.
Will be sold WOF’d and registered.
