The Morris Minor 1000 Traveller remains one of Britain’s most recognizable post-war family cars, combining practical estate car usability with distinctive ash-framed construction. This 1969 example has been family-owned since 1986, with eight years of current ownership and just three former registered keepers.
First registered on 04/02/1969, the car is well presented throughout. The vendor advises that the paintwork remains excellent following its restoration. The car has been lightly used over the last seven years and stored in a dehumidified garage under an indoor cover during winter months.
It has 80,393 miles indicated at the time of cataloguing. Powered by the dependable 1,098cc A-Series engine coupled to a manual gearbox, both were overhauled during the refurbishment works. The car is described by the vendor as very reliable in use and has never broken down during current ownership.
The restoration aimed to keep the car as close to factory specification as possible. The only upgrades include door-mounted wing mirrors, inertia-reel front seat belts, an alternator replacing the dynamo, and more powerful headlights.
Refurbishment works commenced in April 2017 and were completed in June 2018 by a Morris Minor specialist at a cost of £25,000, with many original parts retained wherever possible.
The Morris has since been regularly maintained by a Warwickshire garage and exhibited at the Wythall Bus Museum. It is supplied with invoices detailing restoration costs, extensive photographic records of the refurbishment, and the original 1986 purchase receipt showing the car was acquired by the vendor’s brother for £525.
This charming Traveller is now ready to be enjoyed and shown by its next owner. Sensibly estimated, we encourage your inspection at our CarFest Sale.
