1970 MORRIS MINOR TRAVELLER

1275cc. This cherished Morris Minor Traveller, known as ‘Grace’, was bought by the current owner for £15,700 in 2023. The vendor tells us it was intended to be a long-term keeper, and is only being sold due to a change in financial circumstances. The Traveller presents well, with maroon paintwork and red interior complete with Smiths auxiliary gauges. We're told that within the last year the car has received a full stainless steel exhaust, new carpets and underlay, a new radiator, polyurethane bushes, an engine steady bar, a replacement gearbox and a rebored 1275cc engine (replacing the previous 1098cc unit) to cope with the North Yorkshire hills - improvements which cost the owner £7500.

A large collection of receipts are included in the history file, along with a few MoT certificates, a spare key and the current V5C in the vendor's name. Although exempt, the Morris has recently been MoT'd and is valid until October 2026. Prior to this, it was MoT'd in 2023 and 2020 as well. The car was first registered on 1st August 1970. The odometer displays 20,464 miles.

The new engine number is RKM1110E 2861. Please note that the V5C still records the previous 1098cc engine, so the DVLA will need to be updated regarding the change.
