Vehicle Description
This 1960 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller woody wagon gets instant
attention wherever it goes. So we're not sure if it's the perfect
classic for someone who wants something unique at the car shows, or
someone who needs an interesting business vehicle that also has
cargo room. Then again, at this affordable price, it's ideal for
all of that and much more!
As the Morris Minor has transformed from the car that put Britain
on wheels into full classic status, the Traveller has become even
more of a standout vintage machine. After all, the real wood frame
gives it the appearance of an iconic American surf wagon... but in
a more European size. And as you look over all the details, you
realize that this desirable Morris is also a cut-above classic. The
black paint was refinished a few years ago so it has a terrific
gloss to highlight all the curves of the rounded fenders and
bulging headlights. And the ionic lumber is in a bright contrasting
tone, but since it has plenty of varnish, it has s similar gloss to
the black. You'll even love all the correct details, like the wheel
covers and fender-mounted side mirrors.
The burgundy interior is premium and inviting - like a classic
British sitting room. Handsome bucket seats up front look great
with the matching door panels and coordinating carpeting. The rear
bench folds forward, and there is a surprising amount of cargo room
for its diminutive size, which gets our minds racing about the
difference practical uses for this vintage van. You get the classic
banjo-style steering wheel with Morris center cap, and prominently
in the middle is the large Smiths gauge that contrasts nicely
against the black dash. Overall, it's the kind of solid invest you
love seeing when you want your classic to be ready from day
one.
If you know British cars, then you'll love seeing all that green
when you open the hood. That's the unmistakable sign of an A-series
motor. The engine is a well-known and widely used powerplant that
found a home in plenty of British vehicles. It's the backbone of
English motoring, which makes it quite robust and there's easy
parts availability. This is a fantastically original-style
presentation, which tells you this was a well cared for car even
before the restoration investments (even the clean undercarriage
photos reinforce this feeling.) So you'll feel confident taking it
on the road. And with the control of the four-speed manual
transmission and front disc brakes, we know you find the motor
experience quite lively.
A restored classic like this has such a broad appeal, and this one
has such an affordable price, so you know you need to hurry if you
want to take it home. Call today!!!
