"The car is entire and in good condition, however it does have a few small faults, as shown in the photos. The paint is mostly original. It's unusually great to be unrenovated and totally functional."

"The car is entire and in good condition, however it does have a few small faults, as shown in the photos. The paint is mostly original. It's unusually great to be unrenovated and totally functional."

Description

The car was part of a larger car collection in Lidköping, and the model is a popular classic in the United Kingdom, Holland, and Denmark. They were manufactured until 1971, and replacement parts are easily obtained. This car is complete and appealing on the inside, outside, and underneath. There are signs of time, but no significant damage or rust. There is some surface rust in certain locations. The best way to describe this car's condition is "unrenovated, well-kept original." It will look great with just a paint polish and waxing, as well as a light internal cleaning. It drives well and is simple to start. In terms of mileage, we estimate that the car has travelled around 200,000 kilometres.

Facts about the model

Morris Minor visades för första gången 1948 – i första varvet med sidventilsmotor och delad framruta. Utseendemässigt skilde förstlingen ut sig med strålkastarna betydligt lägre monterade än på de senare. Minor såldes först enbart som täckt tvådörrars och öppen kaross men från 1950 fanns den även med fyra dörrar.
Alec Issigonis, mannen bakom Hundkojan, hade börjat arbeta med Morris nya småbil redan under andra världskriget. Hade han fått som han önskat hade bilen fått framhjulsdrift och boxermotor men det föll inte i god jord hos Morris konservativa ledning. Istället plockades drivlinan från föregångaren Eight med en rak 918 cc liten fyrcylindrig motor. Issigonis fick dock igenom sina önskemål om självbärande kaross, kuggstångsstyrning och individuell framvagn.
1952 kom den uppdaterade Serie II med modern toppventilsmotor på 803 cc från Austin A30, 1953 bättrades modellprogrammet på med kombiversionen Traveller och 1954 kom nya grillen och instrumentbrädan. På detta följde sedan flera modelluppdateringar, bland annat med större motorer.
Sista Moris Minorn tillverkades så sent som 1971.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
