• Lesser-spotted grey livery with very original interior
• Recently subject to new brakes, battery and front window seals

The Appeal

It's hard to overstate the importance of the legendary Morris Minor. These simple, austere little everyman's cars remain one of the most important cars ever built, oft-credited with getting the British public back on the road following VE Day. The early Morris Minors, with their distinctive split-screen windscreens and charming post-war styling, remain among the most sought after. It's an unspoilt piece of styling; well worthy of the affection it still attracts over half a century later.
This 1954 example has been in the same family's care since 2021, kept in a garage and entrusted to Tim Lang Classics in Taunton for its maintenance. Picked out in a very handsome grey with a contrasting coachline, it's a very pleasant-looking machine with plenty of period character.
