Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Morris Minor convertible, sold for £4,500, has been meticulously rebuilt since 1980, featuring a rebuilt 948cc engine, gearbox overhaul, and numerous new body parts including floor, sills, and hood. The car has a rare registration mark and extensive documentation, including handbooks and workshop manuals, indicating a well-cared-for classic.
Condition
7
The car has undergone significant restoration over decades, including a rebuilt engine, gearbox overhaul, new floor, sills, windscreen, and hood. It was put back on the road in 2014 with little mileage since and has been dry stored. While it has had extensive work, the last MOT was in 2020, and it's not described as pristine or outstanding, suggesting it's in very good usable condition with potential for minor improvements.
