The Appeal

The Morris Minor Convertible or "Tourer" as it was originally known, is one of the most endearing open-top classics of the post-war era. Alec Issigonis's design combined engaging handling with an approachable simplicity that continues to win admirers today. Genuine factory convertibles are considerably rarer than their saloon siblings.

This 1957 example is confirmed by the vendor to be a genuine factory convertible. The vendor states the car drives well, making it a promising candidate for someone seeking a usable Morris Minor tourer that could benefit from some cosmetic attention.
