Description
Sold new in February 1968 and finished in Bermuda Blue, with blue interior, we're pleased to offer this Morris Minor Traveller, having previously been sold by us 4 years ago. Cherished, enjoyed and maintained to a high standard in this time the current ower, a real Minor fan regretfully needs to part with his Traveller and having reached out to us, they've asked for our help in finding their car a new home, which we're doing on their behalf. Prior to their ownership the Traveller was lovingly owned and restored by a classic car enthusiast between 1998-2020.
With a history folder containing some 25 previous MOTs (current valid until May 2025) it's easy to imagine the journeys this delightful car has been on, there is no doubt she has been well cared as is evidenced by the box file of receipts, this wonderful Traveller has been subject to a much recent work, with this including:
- Respray in Bermuda Blue - 2019
- Rebuilt front suspension - 2019
- New chrome work, badges etc ~ 2017/ 19
- New wiring look - 2017/ 19
- All new wood work, ash frame ~ 2019/ 20
- Rebuilt Engine including unleaded cylinder-head conversion - 2020
- Radiator Recore - 2020
- New exhaust - 2021
- Reconditioned gearbox - 2023
- Rebuilt braking system - 2024
- New Fuel Tank - 2024
- New Carburettor - 2024
- Numerous other sundry items - 2008-2024
Mechanically in great order and having seen regular use, including trips to Norfolk, Derbyshire since her works and with her unleaded engine conversion it's a real joy to drive this Traveller. With the smallest amount of 'choke' needed on start-up the 1098cc engine starts easily and pulls sweetly through all gears and the Traveller will happily sing along down country roads.
Often a weak point on many Morris Minor rebuilds we're delighted to say the panel gaps are consistent and even around the car. Her Bermuda blue bodywork is lovely, our critical eye noting just few minor blemishes, difficult to photograph and easily attended to should a new keeper wish us to help. The chromework remains bright and the Travellers woodwork, is in superb order, the owner advising us that its be retreated in their keepership.
On opening the door / tail-gate, the driver and passengers are met with an interior in wonderful highly original condition. Her blue interior features the correct '8 pleat' heat-pressed panel pattern seats, fitted to cars between '64-'71, she has the 'luxury' of a heater / blower and despite being relatively small by modern car standards the Traveller actually offers a good amount of interior space with a bright and airy feel, the ideal classic for young & old and ready for day trips, weekends away or just enjoying as she is.
A great all round classic and ULEZ exempt too this Traveller is finished in the lovely shade of Bermuda Blue. The car comes with a fantastic history file containing invoices for several £0000's, 25 previous MOT's back to 1984, her original Owners Handbook etc. Fully serviced, ready to go with a current advisory free MOT, May 2025 with 1300 miles confidently driven in the last year, our customer is sad to see her go but know his Traveller is now ready to be loved and enjoyed by her new owner.
