Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi, i,ve just came across, an advert for a Morris Million,
you also can view the car on Pistonheads, under Morris
of course, the car is local to me, and i view on Friday,
she was restored in 1996, and recently has had a new
interior, by Newton Commercial, the seller is looking
for £9,100 !! to me this is way over the top?? what do
you guys think?? is there a register of the Millons
that are left??
cheers Rob.

Hello, is there a separate register for the Morris Million???

Welcome to the messageboard trebor. Yes, there is a separate register: http://www.minormillion.co.uk/ Contact e-mail details are towards the bottom of the page.

(I've merged your two separate posts into one as they are about the same topic)

Edit: Is this the car? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C175842/ Also advertised on classiccarsforsale.co.uk for £9500.

The actual millionth Minor has been auctioned twice, most recently in February this year, but failed to reach the estimated reserve price. I think bidding reached the £8,000 mark.

not many left but this price is abit over the top

would be quite nice to own one, but i dont think it would be fair on either me or the car.

if its genuine and in a1 condition then i would say not a bad price

Hi, what do you mean by "genuine" ?

There is another one in yorkshire but need work on it £2600 A Morris Minor Million is a car with the original details correct chassis number and right colour original number plate would be nice

For some reason 543 BBP doesn't show up on the DVLA site
When you go to see it make sure you do of course check the chassis plate to see if it has a correct minor million chassis number, from the photos everything looks correct for a minor million except for the fact that the rear badge seems to be made from two 1000 badges!
I don't know what sort of money should be expected for a genuine million but £9100 does seem like a lot

Transport for london comes up with these details
Vehicle: 543BBP
Details: PURPLE UNKNOWN UNKNOWN MODEL

Hello Rob,
That's 'way too much money for a Morris Minor unless you are a collector and you want it as a "Trailer Queen" never to be driven except into a judging meet and back onto the trailer for the trip home. You can get a pretty fine Morris for a lot less money and enjoy the driving with less worry. I remember seeing the 20 that came to Canada arriving at BMC in Hamilton where I was working at the time. I wasn't impressed that they were anything better than the others and I didn't like the colour.

But not in the UK as to enter judging at our club events the cars have to be driven there under their own power.

Maybe just the last mile into the showground ??

Does this not belong to one of our board members? I recall a Minor Million being obtained just last year by "Ayr41" He was based in Scotland and going off his board name I would assume he is near Ayr! Very strange coincidence if there are two Millions in the Ayr area!!

416ARY Number 163 is Has not been on the road since December 2002
