The Appeal

Part car, part 15th-century cottage, the Morris Traveller remains one of the most interesting British classics, offering shooting brake practicality to the already accomplished Minor platform. The (structural) exposed woodwork is its defining feature, continuing to endear this model to enthusiasts the world over.
This 1966 example wears an eye-catching Rose/Taupe exterior paired with a red interior that gives it real visual distinction. Originally found as a wreck, it has been stripped back and rebuilt over more than two decades of use, including major structural work. The bodywork presents well with only minimal defects, though there are now a few small areas of corrosion and some welding required underneath. The chrome work is bright with some patina.
The vendor reports it starts first time and drives well, though it will benefit from some mechanical attention, having been garaged for the last two years. A selection of spare parts accompanies the sale, offering the next keeper a useful head start on any further work.
