1932 Morris Minor | Brightwells | Auction Ends: Wed 28th Oct

Previously taken part in numerous road runs and rallies; original working sunroof remains a charming feature; 2013 the car went through a full restoration with pictures included showing some of the work carried out

A charming 1932 Morris Minor Saloon, showing seven former keepers and finished in Blue. First registered in March 1932, this example represents the final year of production for the original Minor, which was introduced in 1928 as Morris's answer to the Austin Seven.

The car has enjoyed a particularly interesting life and has previously taken part in numerous road runs and rallies, including successfully completing the approximately 90-mile Daffodil Run around ten years ago. A bare-metal repaint was carried out in 2013, when the mechanical side was also attended to with a new radiator, tyres, battery and clutch, together with an overhauled gearbox and reconditioned fuel tank. The interior is reported to be in very good condition and the original working sunroof remains a charming feature.

The current vendor acquired the Morris in October 2017 and has enjoyed around nine years of ownership, primarily using it on fine days. The history file includes the original Buff Log Book, RF60 registration book, six old MOT certificates, handbook, Pitman's book, photographs showing aspects of the restoration and invoices for work carried out over the years.

The vendor advises that the car was running recently, although since arriving on site we have been unable to start it. The engine turns over freely and is receiving fuel, so recommissioning may be required. We have also noted that both doors would benefit from adjustment to enable them to close smoothly.

An appealing pre-war Morris with an interesting history, restoration photographs and a good selection of period documentation, now offered with the opportunity for further recommissioning.
