Introduction
Darren Rungasamy
A much-loved and dependable British icon with a Californian twist.
As English as the stone architecture of the Cotswolds or the stunning natural landscapes of Yorkshire, the Morris Minor has a place in the very heart of the UK. With 4 decades of production, the humble but loyal Morris Minor served the people as a charming, affordable and dependable companion. Relatively unchanged during its production run, the Minor did see incremental engine and trim upgrades. By the time it reached its final series V guise in 1962, it was powered by the upgraded A-Series 1098cc engine. Sold in four distinct body styles, each model offered an impressive interior space and was appreciated for its good handling. Easy to work on and mechanically straightforward, the Minor was instrumental to mobility in the post-war era, and the ‘Moggie’ was recognised as being one of the few family cars to attract Classic car status while it was still in production.
This exceptionally well-prepared 1964 Morris Minor Traveller has been thoughtfully converted into a ‘Woodie’ style estate car and has been treated to a tasteful interior overhaul, and the wood panelling has been expertly bent to follow the curve of the wood frame. Finished in "Smoke Grey" with a limited-run "Duo-tone" interior, it has also seen useful mechanical and interior modifications, such as an electric fuel pump. Sold with over £7k worth of invoices and receipts, this smartly presented example has been lovingly restored to a high standard.
This listing was written from information supplied by Darren after meeting George the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
