Presented in Trafalgar Blue with black vinyl roof, this otherwise subtle and understated example of Morris’ Minor 1000 also features a Union Jack boot lid, for a little extra pizzazz. Driven by the 1,098cc four-cylinder A-Series engine that gives the model its name, ‘JDB 932E’ sees that unit matched to a four-speed manual gearbox. Extensively modified, this Morris Minor has only had two keepers from new, with an exceptionally low indicated mileage of 21,746 miles – not guaranteed, but ‘JDB 932E’ was left unused for some years.Presented in Trafalgar Blue with black vinyl roof, this otherwise subtle and understated example of Morris’ Minor 1000 also features a Union Jack boot lid, for a little extra pizzazz.

Spotlights have been added to the front, and fog lights and reversing light in the rear, with LEDs used. The exhaust is original, as are the wheels, though the latter have been painted black, while the roof has been replace with the vinyl offering now seen, and a sunroof has been fitted. Services in recent years have seen new spark plugs, points, distributor cap, and shoes and drums on the rear fitted. There is a large folder of invoices and receipts for work carried out. The vendor considers all areas of this Morris Minor 1000 as in ‘good’ condition, from engine and transmission to interior, electrics, bodywork, and paint. • Low mileage example• Significant modifications carried out• Just two owners from newOne of the most recognised classics on the road, the Morris Minor was a low-cost model, introduced in 1948. Designed under the stewardship of Alec Issigonis (he of Mini fame), the Minor was originally offered in two-door saloon and convertible forms, with a four-door saloon introduced in 1950. In 1953, Morris introduces the wooden-framed Traveller estate model, and also offered van and pick-up commercial models from the same year. Launching with a 918cc engine, the first series lasted until 1953, when it was replaced by the Series II, which brought in a smaller, but more modern engine, with an 803cc A-Series unit used. It was during this time that the range expanded to offer various body styles, but it wasn’t until the Series III came along - the Morris Minor 1000 - that sales were really established as a long-running model. Lasting until 1971, more than 1.6 million Morris Minors were produced.
