This blue 1098cc Morris Minor saloon apparently remained with its original owner until she sold it in 2019. The present owner bought it two years later in 2021, and treated it to a restoration costing over £7000. This work included over £1300 spent on re-chroming the brightwork, an £1800 respray and new carpets. A good collection of receipts documents this restoration work, though sadly no invoices exist from the car's earlier years – we're told the original owner's Italian mechanic always preferred cash.

The Minor was registered on 11th April 1968 and the odometer reads only 30,390 miles. Paperwork includes the current V5C and an original driver's handbook, along with the aforementioned restoration receipts.

Vendor advises that the engine requires petrol additive.
