Rough guide to traveller values?

Post by kas279n »

Hi there. I'm completely new to this, so hopefully I've not missed any information provided elsewhere.

I'm looking to buy a Morris Minor Traveller (had one or 2! about 15 years ago), I don't have the space or the skill to do lots of work myself, so need one is reasonably good condition. I'm trying to get a good idea of price for such a car as prices seem to vary greatly. I've seen the page of values which is dated 2002 - has this changed dramatically since then, or should I add a percentage increase for 5/6 years later?...

I look forward to hearing from some more experienced Morris Minor people with your thoughts.

Thanks

Kathryn

I'm guessing a reasonable morris minor traveller would set you back around £1000-£1500 then there after the better the condition the more you will pay.check ebay loads on there!

a resonable one i think about £1500.00 to £2000.00but again check on ebay as this tends to be around what they fo for now, and it is a good time of the year to buy, prices will hike once easter gets here

and of course does depend on current price trends and time of the year

the mmoc guide is really an insurance guide and does not really reflect current price trends etc

Hi Kathryn and welcome, its useful to fill in your location so that people have a rough idea of where you are, also there is one for sale on here that might be suitable for you if you don't mind one that has been slightly upgraded for modern traffic conditions.

Certainly in my area the better ones start at £2,500 below that they always seem to need loads doing to them unless you are lucky, how much (or little) were you hoping to get one for.
Cheers

Thanks All. I'm in the South West (have updated profile) and have seen a couple I'm interested in. It's good to get some expert guidance. Thanks for the tip on the upgraded Traveller too - I've been in contact! I do need something in very good condition - not a dab hand at DIY ... yet.

Thanks for all your help. I found my Traveller - its having a little bit of work done on it and a new MOT and I'm picking it up in 2 weeks! I can't wait! Old English White with a red interior - exactly what I was looking for.
