What would all expect to get if you had a £5000 budget for a Morris Traveller. I initially wanted one cause I thought it would be fun and relatively cheap but it doesn't look like that's going to happen

£5000 should buy an excellent car! Condition 1

There doesn't appear to be a great range of conditions available, most are either for restoration at a few £100 or in excellent conditon for near the £5000 mark (and more) occassionally one or 2 around the £3500.
I went for the restoration option, thankfully now nearing completion.

Likewise. And I don't think completion will ever happen. Theres always something needs doing!

Very true, I probably should have said 'ready for use' -Its a bit like any house we have had, never finished until we decide to sell it!

Forth Bridge on wheels! when you get the the end the beginning needs doing again!

And Minors love their original red oxide primers - just like the original finish on the Forth Bridge.

For £5k you should expect to get a really good example with nice wood and needing NO work whatsoever. It may not be an immaculate show car - but it shouldn't be too far away!
