Description:1 of 2 cars from teh Millard Estate In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a 1968 Morris 8 CWT Minor Van that is finished in an eye-catching Turquoise/Blue. This vehicl is being sold as part of a deceased estate. Maintenance & History: Owned by the late Mr. Millard since May 2008, however, specifics regarding maintenance history are not provided. This Morris Minor Van potentially holds a fascinating backstory, as it is believed to have been utilised by the Post Office for delivering mail, supposedly directly to the Royal Family. While there’s no concrete evidence to substantiate this claim, the mere possibility is still very intriguing. The Model: Built for commercial use, the Morris Minor Van series played a vital role in various businesses. Originally marketed as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up, this particular model is an 8cwt version introduced in 1968. Characterised by its separate chassis construction, stiffer rear leaf springs, and lower-ratio differentials, it was designed to withstand the demands of commercial operations. The Minor Van had a production spanning over almost two decades with over 300,000 units produced. Sale Insight: As an example of the dwindling numbers of Morris Minor Vans still licensed for UK roads, this offering presents a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts. While its precise backstory may not be verifyiable, it is still a very interesting buy. |
