Lot Ended
Description
Few owners, the current for 17 years; professionally converted into a
Tourer; affectionately know as Aunty Joan and in regular summer use; driven
40 miles to the sale
First registered in
Oxfordshire in April 1966, this Morris Minor has had just six owners from new,
our vendor acquiring her back in August 2008.
Starting out in
life as a two-door saloon, she was professionally converted into a Tourer in
early 2008 by local Morris Minor specialist, Joe Mason of Woodend Farm near
Cradley. This was properly done with all the necessary bodywork reinforcement,
as shown in photos on file.
Affectionately known as Aunty
Joan, she has always been in light regular use with no fewer than 22 old MOTs on
file from 1992 – 2018 when she became MOT-exempt.
Our vendor has
enjoyed using her in the summer months, clocking up some 5,000 miles during his
17-year ownership and keeping her tucked away in a nice dry garage over the
winter.
He reports that Aunty Joan has
always been very reliable and has been looked after properly, with any MOT
advisories or failure points being addressed as required. Driven some 40 miles
to the sale, she has been starting promptly and running sweetly as we have moved
her around on site.
As you can see in the photos,
Aunty Joan is in good shape for a lady her age and looks reassuringly solid both
above and below. As British as a vicar on a
bicycle, she will win friends wherever she goes, it being a well-known fact that
you get more smiles-per-mile in a Moggie than you do in any other car.
Like all Moggies she is great fun to drive and she will be a fine way to
scoot around the lanes in the long hot summer that lies ahead of us.
