Morris Minor Owners Club

hello i see that my old morris didnt sell i suspect it dodnt get any where near reserve,knowing what he paid for it ,,grandad

That was the white one from Hull on E-bay, with the stainless steel visor, wasn't it? Bidding stalled at about £700?

Can I ask you a question, grandad - two actually...

If I remember correctly, I think you sold the Morris for health reasons (correct me if I'm wrong) but if someone forced your arm up behind your back, and insisted you bought a minor, would you be happy to buy back the one which didn't sell on E-bay?

Secondly, what do you think the reserve would have been, then?

hello no it was the blue one from hull with sunvisor, both the minors i have had i would buy back if i realy wanted another i spent a lot on the one from hull it was excellent underneath, should be ok mechanicalyi would think that reserve would be £1,500, just a that knowing what he paid for her then he has done bits to her as well,it got to just over £900,might be wrong on reserve , but i dont sell mine for less than i paid for it as i dont keep my cars for long, he may sell for less i dont no, , not sure where your going with the questions but you have your answers, i try to be carefull when i buy a car as said in previose posts its my playing money i will sell if car doesnt suit or i fancy some thing else, dont know any thing about white one at hull,,grandad

Sorry, I'm slightly colour-blind... a pale blue would look white to me sometimes. Or grey!

I'm sure it was the same one!

Where I'm going with it is that Hull is a long way away from me, and if it doesn't sell on E-bay this time, I might bid next time, but I'm not going to bid and drive all that way for a [OI! Bypassing the profanity filter isn't big or clever] if the previous owner can give me a steer as to whether it's worth it!

hello buing a morris is always going to be difficult i have given you my opinion, dont pay any more than 1500. as there are better cars out there for a bit more money. the second one i sold was conciderably better than the one you ask about.these are just my personal opinions. i have no contact with the present owner and 1500 is just a guese look at several before buying but i think you know that, all the best,,grandad,,tony
