Looking for 771BLH - Morris Minor 1000

Post by 12rachel »

I wondered if someone might be able to help me find the above car.

My Dad passed away in 2011 and he used to own the above car. He bought in new in 1960 and sold it sometime in the 2000's. it was a Morris Minor 1000 in grey. I am really keen to see it again partly because it belonged to my Dad and also that I always remember it sitting in the garage for years on end looking very sorry for itself and I would really like to see it done up now.

If you are the owner or know who is I would be grateful if you could let me know. Also any ideas on how I could trace this vehicle if the owner is not a member of this club would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone.

Hi,
According to the DVLA site it is currently taxed (DVLA details below), so we must assume on the road, which is always a good sign.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Thanks for that. I should have perhaps mentioned that I had checked the DVLA website and seen that it was licensed and appeared to be on the road again. Another point that may be of interest is that it would have been bought from my Dad who lived in the London borough of Bexley at the time. Hopefully this will help to narrow it down if there are any Morris Minor owners in or around Bexley.
