Vehicle Description
STK 3043 1959 Morris Minor 1000
The Morris Minor is a British economy car that began production in
1948. Over 1.5 million were produced before production ceased in
1972. This 1959 2-door Salon was partially restored in 2020 and is
an outstanding example of one of the most popular models - the
Morris Minor 1000. The 1000 model featured a redesigned one-piece
windshield, updated exterior badging and a newly developed A-Series
4-cylinder engine that would also power numerous other BMC models
including the AH Sprite and MG Midget. The unitary body of this
Morris was carefully reshot in original grey and factory steel
wheels w/caps mount 14" Westlake radial tires. Chrome trim is in
overall good condition. The restored burgundy interior is also in
very good nick. Our owner states that 948cc engine was rebuilt in
1974 and is backed by a four-speed manual gearbox that shifts well.
The chassis is equipped with rack and pinion steering, adjustable
torsion bar front suspension and rear leaf springs. Brakes are
4-wheel manual drum. This classic Morris Minor 1000 does the famous
British icon proud - don't wait long. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS
IS".
