Upholstery has also been replaced including the carpets.

No expense has been spared in restoring this Morris Minor, all work is documented in receipts and on the memory.

 

Auctioneer’s notes:

There is only one way to describe this car FANTASTIC.  The vendor says “no expense has been spared”. If possible, this is an understatement!  I note she has a twin carb conversion and a little extra power, I think, is an acceptable upgrade.  These cars were designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, who went on to design the iconic mini.  Incidentally, he joined Morris Motor Company in 1935.  This outstanding car may be viewed strictly by appointment.
