WOJ 686 – Morris Minor 1000 2dr – 1958 Birch Grey

  • 5 Former Keepers
  • Original Bill of Sale from new plus other sales records
  • Original logbook/passport of service
  • Original Drivers Handbooks, Warranty Cards
  • Old Tax Discs, MOT’s & Related Repair Paper Work
  • Full photo documented nut & Bolt restoration between 2018 – 2022 incl engine, brakes, exhaust, Gearbox overhaul
  • Over £6,000 spent between 2018 – 2020 with Charles Ware on parts/repair panels
  • Professionally re-trimmed interior, including headlining, glove boxes, carpets and retrimmed seats
  • Uprated larger Capacity Fuel Tank, seat belts and lights for modern driving
  • Sought after clear USA spec front side lights
  • This Morris 1000 should really have been scrapped. Found in a garden in Walthamstow East London with a tramp living in it, the shell was rotten in every area and the interior was falling to bits. The car underwent a 4 year restoration in and around other restorations and was carried out by a professional motor trader. The Minor was intended for use as a personal vehicle and no expense was spared and the car was restored sympathetically to its original specifications so that it could easily be returned to factory if desired at a later date. The car was undersealed as it was intended for year round use
  • Items replaced include all floor panels, cross members, fitch panels, wings, completely new braking system and fuel system, full repaint in original birch grey, new headlining, carpets, seats and a fully stripped down and rebuilt engine and overhauled gearbox. Pretty much all engine ancillaries replaced with new and most of the loom was also replaced. In total over £10k spent on this car in the last 7 years.
  • Unfortunately, during COVID plans changed and the car has sat un-used since the restoration was completed. Aside from needing a new set of tyres and a few little cosmetic bits and bobs here and there, this car is essentially a fully rebuilt almost new car that hasn’t been used in years. Needs to be used and loved once more
