The Bolesworth Castle March 2024 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1969 Morris 1000 Convertible
***NO RESERVE***
Registration - UYB 461G
Chassis No. - MA2S5D1238828M
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 101,944
One of the best loved classics in the country, the Morris Minor is familiar to all, and this 1969 a professionally created convertible retains all the character that has made the model such a favourite amongst drivers of all ages. Few will come to auction with such a comprehensive service history as ‘UYB 461G’, including a file filled with receipts, invoices, and records of work carried out over the years. The pale blue bodywork is described as excellent by the current owner, as is the 998cc four-cylinder engine and manual transmission. That engine has seen 101,944 miles at the latest reading, and will be sold with a recent service as well as 12-month MOT – despite the model now being MOT exempt. The folding roof is in perfect working order, and the vendor is including an original spare wheel and oil can with the sale.
The Morris Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus and the red telephone box and, with over 1.3 million manufactured in its 23-year reign, is one of the most successful cars of all time. Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show and 13 years later became the first British car to achieve a million sales. The term ‘panda car’ originally related to black police cars to which white panels had been added to increase their visibility, but became the nickname for the Morris Minors, Ford Anglias, Hillman Imps etc that, in many areas, replaced the traditional ‘bobby on the beat’.
· Excellent example of a much-loved classic
· Well maintained and comprehensively recorded service history
· Original spare wheel and oil can included
