Description

The Morris Minor Traveller is one of Britain's most iconic and endearing classic cars, combining the practicality of an estate with unmistakable period charm. Instantly recognisable by its distinctive ash-framed rear bodywork, the Traveller has become a much-loved symbol of post-war British motoring. Renowned for its simple mechanical design, dependable nature and surprising versatility, it remains a favourite with enthusiasts seeking a classic that is as enjoyable to drive as it is to own. With strong club support and an ever-growing appreciation amongst collectors, well-maintained examples continue to attract considerable interest.

Originally registered on 6th January 1971, this Series III Morris Minor Traveller is finished in the attractive combination of Trafalgar Blue with contrasting Limeflower trim. The car has benefitted from exceptional long-term ownership, having remained with its previous custodian for over 30 years. During that time, it underwent extensive restoration work by renowned Morris Minor specialists Charles Ware, including the replacement of the complete timber frame and significant bodywork repairs, supported by invoices totalling in excess of £7,500. Clearly cherished throughout its life, this Traveller presents as an honest and highly usable example, retaining all the character that has made these cars so enduringly popular. Offered with its V5 registration document and a comprehensive history file, it provides an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of this much-loved British classic. As practical today as it was over 50 years ago, the Traveller's signature split rear doors and generous load space make it ideal for everything from weekends away and classic car events to collecting antiques or even a trip to IKEA. Now exempt from road tax and offering charming, uncomplicated motoring with smiles guaranteed, this delightful 'Moggy' is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Consigned by Stewart Banks
