Vehicle Description
When you run into something this unique and affordable, your
imagination starts to go into overdrive. This 1966 Morris Minor
Utility Van has a cool look on the outside, custom comfort on the
inside, and a little extra power under the hood. So it seems like
the perfect vehicle to do everything from be the support vehicle
for you British exotic to just being a fun presentation all on its
own.
If you're British, then this is a pure nostalgia machine (and if
you're not this is just a very cool presentation.) After all,
what's distinct than Morris cargo van customized to look like a BMC
racing support vehicle? And it's not just the vintage Austin Healey
racing livery on the side that you'll enjoy. They got the details
right. After all, the darker blue pinstriping is a very European
item, and it coordinates nicely with the painted full-size spare
mounted on the rear. All the right pieces are there - front the
Morris badges up front, to the wide double cargo doors that are
great for tailgating. You even have two original-style wheels on
the rear (the sale also comes with two more to match the rest of
the vehicle.)
While these panel vans were built to be utilitarian, this one adds
flair on top of its function. The dual gray cloth bucket seats make
the most of the passenger space with their high-backed comfort, and
the seatbelts even coordinate with the exterior blue. There's an
AM/FM stereo that includes speakers in the cargo area. As a true
British machine, it's right hand drive. The controls are laid out
nicely with a grippy three-spoke steering wheel, gearshift that's
always in easy reach, and upgraded SunPro gauges, including a very
handy tach. And every British car fan loves the look of the
cool/classic Smiths large central speedo.
The engine bay is another place where British car fans will find
something to love. The A-Series motor is a well-known and widely
used powerplant that found a home in plenty of British vehicles.
But while the head cover is something familiar to Minor fans,
what's underneath is an upgrade. The 1.3-liter is larger than
anything BMC ever supplied originally, and now it is also fed by a
Weber dual-barrel setup. So this van has a little extra pep in its
step. And you'll feel confident taking it on the road. And with the
control of the four-speed manual transmission and light/lively
steering, we know you find the motoring experience quite
lively.
It's a rarity to see a Morris Minor Van in the USA, and this one
has such an affordable price. So you know you need to hurry if you
want to take it home. Call today!!!
