Morris Minor Owners Club

As per title, I have a complete running and driving Minor which I only really bought for the engine/wheels/brakes/interior and registration plate.
The idea was to sell the plate and obtain another age related plate from the DVLA but this didn't happen as there were discrepancies with the identification of the car. The car is therefore no longer suitable for use on the road without going through an IVA test which I really do not have time for so it's up for sale as PARTS!
The car was sold to me as a 1959 but the DVLA are not so sure.
Before I purchased the car I took it to a garage for a thorough examination of the underside because at that time I thought an MOT would be required (to transfer the reg number) which the examiner stated it would easily pass.

The car briefly comprises of...
1275 Engine
Wider (standard) wheels and tyres
Disc Brakes (Ford front)
additional gas dampers
Interior
(Above are the items that I would like to keep but in the interest of a quick sale I may be tempted to sell the lot)

Apart from that there is a full 2 door Black minor for sale, everything.
The car runs, drives and stops very well so can be driven before any purchase decisions are made. We can even drive it onto my small ramps so you can inspect the underside.

I'm looking to get my money back and if it's for the full car would like circa £3000. The car is in good condition but the roof has been painted with a spray can so that area is not great. Other than that it is very presentable. Without the above items it can go for £1000

If I can sell the complete car I will but I would actually prefer to break it if possible so I can retain the items I'd like.
So, let me know what you need and I'll get pics and prices to you. Please send me direct messages though.

TIA.

So I assume you are keeping the 1275 engine? It’s a shame to scrap the car. These cars are not unlimited in number….

Also, an idea of location would be helpful too.

Yes, I'd like to retain the parts I listed in the advert but will let it all go at the correct price.

I know the cars are not unlimited in number which is why I'm offering the opportunity of someone else putting the car through an IVA. I simply do not have time for that.

Maybe you should post some photos of the car in this and your other thread so that people have an idea of what it's like if you're preferring to sell it as a whole, also if you do part it out it'll also show what you have and haven't got since your cars been modified.

please consider selling it as a whole - such a shame to just break up a car that's survived this long already. as an earlier poster said - they're not unlimited.

Please see photos.
Whole car can now be purchased for £2.5K.
