Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a truly special example of the iconic Morris Minor. This 1955 model has remained in one family’s ownership from new, passed down through three generations, and offers a rare blend of originality, provenance, and mechanical restoration.
Presented in its factory-correct Empire Green, the car underwent a comprehensive refurbishment in 2009 by the Nottingham Minor Centre, which included a full professional respray in its original colour. The result is a body that presents honestly, with a smart and characterful appearance that retains its period charm.
In 2019, the vehicle benefitted from a complete engine rebuild, ensuring excellent reliability and smooth running. The engine bay is clean, tidy and mechanically sound, with the A-series engine performing as it should – eager to start and responsive on the road.
The interior remains highly original, finished in green leather with charming patina throughout. The dashboard is untouched and features the correct Smiths instruments and original switchgear. This Morris Minor has a recorded mileage of just over 72,000 miles, believed genuine.
What truly sets this car apart is its incredible accompanying history. Included in the sale is a collection of tax discs dating back to 1958, the original Maintenance Service Book, and the original Operation Manual. This paperwork offers a fascinating insight into the life of the car and reinforces its genuine, long-term family ownership. The car has always been dry stored, sparingly used, and maintained to a high standard.
As part of the sale, the car will receive a full service and MOT, despite being MOT-exempt under its historic vehicle status. This ensures peace of mind and road readiness for its next custodian.
This is an unrepeatable chance to own a genuinely historic Morris Minor – ideal for a collector or enthusiast looking for an honest, well-documented classic with a wonderful story. This car is ready to be enjoyed on the road or preserved as part of a discerning collection - book a viewing today - our coffee pot is always hot!
