I bought this Morris back in 2020 when I was still learning to drive. The modifications were added because i was using the car daily for commuting and the disc brake and servo conversion made traffic commuting and motor way driving more responsive.

My family have always been fans of Morris Minors and my Father is especially passionate about restoring them and has restored several classic cars and Morris Minors to concourse level. I recommend discussing any technical details on the car with him if you are interested, as i have had a lot of help on this car from him.


I wanted a solid reliable Morris that I could learn to drive in and do some light restoration to. Having this Morris as my first car has been the best experience, and i strongly recommend it to any other young driver. Not only are there many perks being in the MMOC with the lower insurance rates but the community and reputation around Morris Minors has made being a new driver confidence boosting.

I regularly drove down to the south of Dorset from Somerset in this car and after passing my driving test I took a holiday with it on the ferry to Guernsey which was perfectly suited to the little car.
