Description Genuine factory-built Tourer; two owners; fully restored about 12 years ago and only 5,000 fine weather miles since; only 400 miles on reconditioned 1,098cc Ivor Searle engine; interesting history; a really super example all round First registered in April 1965, this genuine factory-built Morris Minor Tourer has effectively had just two owners from new.
It was first owned by Charles Currey, Managing Director of Fairey Marine Ltd of Hampshire, a distinguished offshore powerboat racer and yachtsman who won a Silver Medal in the 1952 Olympics (333 was the racing number of Currey's powerboats, hence the plates on the Morris).
It stayed in the Currey family (along with three other Morris Minor Tourers) until our vendor acquired it in 1971, initially putting it into the name of his company, and then into his wife’s name, the V5C recording one former keeper.
The car was treated to a professional ground-up restoration between 2004 – 2009, including a full repaint in the original...
