Morris Minor Owners Club

Minor pick up - 1975 (N-reg) ... really? Only explanation I can think of is it's ex-military, and found it's way onto civvy-street before the DVLA was fully up and running. N-reg was the last year that re-registrations reflected the year of re-reg, rather than the true vehicle age.

The second pick-up offered in the same listing, for restoration looks a bit suspect too. Allegedly a 1961 model, it has a few quite significant later features which can be explained, but the absence of clap-hands wipers is a puzzle...?

Having signed up in '74, I don't remember ever seeing pick-ups in military service, certainly not in RAF.
Only used to see Travellers used for roles like EOD, Recruiters or other odd roles, like Air Cadet Liaison duties.
Workplace 'Pick-ups' were just open top Landrovers!

The grey pick-up is plainly a very late one judging by the steering column lock but who knows the reason for the 1974 registration.

The rough one they have is probably really a 1971 with a misprinted age? Its specification fits with that and it looks to have been Aqua coloured previously? No registration plate visible is there? A lot of work for somebody though!

You'd have to be a lot suspicious. Might be a genuine story there,but buyer beware!

As ManyMinors says the rough one is most likely 71, has Austin chassis plate and appears to have started life as a van.

Not as strange as this one...............
A triumph of enthusiasm over taste (imho)!

I can't get the link to work but type in "1956 morris minor convertible", the seller is "jrah43".............

I'm lost for words with that one, which is fairly unusual for me

263244125982 is the number, but it doesn't seem to be linking. I looked for Morris Minor parts but couldn't see any from the photos except maybe the wheels.

It does plainly use a Morris Minor as its base. All the front chassis, the engine bay crossmember (to support the front dampers) and everything back to the centre crossmember are Minor - and indeed the front suspension and steering gear. Probably the rear axle is also used. The Minor engine and gearbox would fit straight in.......
Anyone tempted

Errrrr Nope !

Not strange, apart from the price tag, if you are down under....

or across the pond - better price and with that colour would turn some heads
