Vehicle Here at Classicwise is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a very early and highly desirable 1961 Morris Mini Minor, presented in its factory correct colour of Cherry Red and now fitted with a lively and well engineered 1380cc engine upgrade.
This right hand drive UK supplied example was built in April 1961 for the home market before spending many years overseas, returning to the UK during the 1990s and later being recommissioned and registered for road use in 2009.
The condition of the bodyshell is particularly impressive and is widely believed to be largely original, with excellent panel fit, straight lines and period correct detailing throughout.
The presence of original body numbers within the floor pans and the quality of the panel construction suggest that the car benefitted from time in a dry climate earlier in its life.
Early production features remain evident including the magic wand gear lever, smooth sills, floor mounted push button start, early style seat hinges...
