Vehicle Description
As this 1960 Morris Minor 1000 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
ash wood framing gives it the appearance of an iconic American surf
wagon... but in a more European size. And as you take extra time
with this car, you'll love all the details. The white paint brings
out some of the subtle curves of the front while also making sure
there's a nice contrast to really see the rear vinyl roof and all
the beautiful real lumber. And the red grille is a preview of the
distinct vinyl inside. It even gets the little things right, like
the logos on the hubcaps and banjo-style steering wheel. Plus, it's
made to be a real driver with a working heater and auxiliary
readouts (they are Smiths units to match the factory gauge.) And
the updated motor is quite eager to hit the road. So take some time
to look over the details of one of the coolest Woodys around.

This Morris has a ton of distinction, and we also love that it's a
real driver. The motor was upgraded to the 1275cc version, which is
about 28 percent more displacement than stock. It doesn't make this
a hot rod, but it gives some added pep to the hardy A-Series motor.
And we like keeping the correct powerhouse family because it's the
backbone of English motoring, which makes it quite robust and easy
parts availability. That makes it a proper driver, and this Minor
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 promotional vehicle that also has cargo room.
Then again, at this affordable price, it's ideal for all of that
and much more. With this much versatility and distinction, you know
this one will be gone soon. Call today!!!
