1969 MORRIS MINOR 1000 TOURER

Registration No: ADH830G

Chassis No:MA2T5.D.1250734M

- A notably late Tourer (production ceased on 18th August 1969)

- Treated to an extensive bodywork restoration, engine overhaul and new hood in 2015

- A highly presentable, inexpensive and very characterful four-seater Tourer

Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later penned the ubiquitous Mini), the Morris Minor was unveiled at the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show. There were two variants at launch - a two-door Saloon and Tourer. The four-door Saloon followed in 1950 and the popular Traveller, Van and Pick-up versions completed the range two years later. Equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes, the Morris Minor was practical, economical and fun to drive. Revamped in 1952, 1956 and 1962, the latter redesign encompassed an enlarged 1098cc engine, improved facia and bigger brakes etc. The final Tourer was manufactured on 18th August 1969.

Finished in the attractive combination of Old English White with Red upholstery, this notably late example - a genuine factory Tourer as denoted by the `T' in its chassis number - is variously described by the vendor as being in `very good' (engine, electrical equipment, interior trim) or `excellent' (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox) overall condition. Treated to an extensive restoration during 2015 that reportedly saw circa £8,600 spent on body panels and associated labour, the Morris is also understood to have benefited from a new hood and engine overhaul. A highly presentable, inexpensive and very characterful four-seater Tourer.
