CLASSIC 1956 MORRIS MINOR

EXCELLENT CONDITION

 

 

 

RARE SPLIT SCREEN MORRIS MINOR IN EXCELLENT, ORIGINAL CONDITION. 

THIS WAS ONE OF THE LAST MODELS WITH THE SPLIT SCREEN. IT HAS THE SEMAPHORE TURN INDICATORS. THIS MINOR WAS ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED ON JANUARY 26, 1956, AND PURCHASED IN IRELAND BY A MIDWIFE FROM W.H. ALEXANDER, LIMITED, IN BELFAST ON MARCH 26 1956. IT THEN HAD THREE ADDITIONAL OWNERS UNTIL 1975 WHEN A COLLECTOR PURCHASED THE CAR AND STORED IT IN COUNTY ANTRIM, IRELAND.   IN 1985 ANOTHER CAR COLLECTOR FROM ENGLAND BOUGHT THE MORRIS TO ADD TO HIS COLLECTION OF MORRIS CARS. I PURCHASED THE MINOR IN APRIL 2007 FROM THE FAMILY ESTATE SALE. 

THE CONDITION OF THE MORRIS IS EXCELLENT.  ALL ORIGINAL, NO BODY DAMAGE, AND NO RUST AREAS. THE UNDERSIDE IS RUST-FREE AND VERY CLEAN. EVERYTHING ON THE MORRIS WORKS PERFECTLY. THERE ARE NO ISSUES. THE INTERIOR STILL HAS THAT OLD CAR LEATHER SMELL. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR HAS SPENT MORE TIME IN STORAGE THAN ON THE ROAD. 

ALL THE CHROME ITEMS WERE REPLACED INCLUDING NEW BONNET MOTIF, NEW BUMPERS, GRILL SURROUNDS, NEW DOOR OUTER DOOR HANDLES (VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND) BONNET AND BOOT HINGES AND NEW ORIGINAL PINSTRIPING. TWO NEW REAR TIRES WERE FITTED AND A NEW ORIGINAL HEADLINER. 

I HAVE THE ORIGINAL BUFF LOG BOOK OF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PLUS THE BRITISH MOTOR HERITAGE CERTIFICATE THAT CONFIRMS THE CAR'S AUTHENTICITY. PRIOR TO BEING IMPORTED INTO THE U.S., THE MORRIS UNDERWENT THE STRINGENT MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT TEST THAT IS REQUIRED FOR ALL BRITISH VEHCILES THAT ARE MORE THAN THREE YEARS OF AGE. IT PASSED WITHOUT ANY ADVISORIES AND I HAVE THE CERTIFICATE. THE MILEAGE SHOWS 36,553 WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE CORRECT.

THE MORRIS HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR THROUGHOUT IT'S LIFE AND IT SHOWS. MOST OF THESE MODELS ARE LONG GONE AND MOST THAT ARE AVAILABLE REQUIRE FULL RESTORATION. IT IS THE PERFECT COLLECTOR/SHOW CAR.  IT RUNS AND DRIVES AS IT WOULD HAVE DONE IN 1956.

Mini 're-evaluating' relationship with Abby Wambach following DUI arrest

Mon, Apr 4 2016

Mini USA is "re-evaluating" its relationship with former US Women's National Soccer Team star Abby Wambach after the 35-year-old was arrested for driving under the influence on Sunday morning. Wambach was just one of the athletes that joined Mini's recently launched "Defy Labels" campaign. She was driving a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover – not a Mini – at the time of the arrest. "We're obviously concerned about the alleged DUI attributed to Abby Wambach. This behavior is against the values we promote as an organization and the safety of everyone on the road is a priority here at Mini," the company said in an official statement obtained by Automotive News. "Because of this, we are re-evaluating her association with the brand and are pulling content that individually features Abby from our marketing. We will continue to assess the situation and weigh our options." Wambach was arrested in Portland, OR after running a red light in her Range Rover. Her blood alcohol content was not released by the Portland Police Bureau, although she was described as "polite and courteous" throughout the affair, according to a statement.

Mini recalls 86,000 hatchbacks, convertibles from 2002 to 2005

Wed, Oct 28 2015

Mini is recalling 86,018 cars built for model years 2002 through 2005 over concerns about the power steering system. The affected vehicles include both R50 Cooper and R53 Cooper S hatchbacks as well as convertibles (where applicable). Mini's public communications with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration over the issue are decidedly oblique and simply pointing out owners could "experience temporary or permanent loss of the electro-hydraulic steering assistance." Worryingly, Mini claims it's aware of 20 accidents and five injuries due to the power-steering issue. This isn't the first time Mini has had problems with the power steering systems on these first-gen Coopers. The automaker had so many claims of bad power steering pumps and cooling fans that it upped the warranty on those units to 13 years or 150,000 miles for the same 2002 to 2005 models being recalled here. This author's personal 2006 model is on its third fan and second pump, though that year has never officially been investigated or recalled. A slight drop in steering assist and a low-battery warning at engine startup are the main signs your car needs recall work. Owners of the affected hatchbacks and cabrios will be notified by Mini and asked to report to their local dealer to have the electrohydraulic steering system's wiring and components inspected. Any repairs will be done free of charge. Read on for the official NHTSA bulletin. Related Video: Report Receipt Date: OCT 15, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V660000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 86,018 Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2002-2005 MINI Cooper and Cooper S vehicles and 2005 Cooper and Cooper S Convertible vehicles. The affected vehicles may experience temporary or permanent loss of the electro-hydraulic steering assistance. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required at lower speeds, potentially iincreasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: MINI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the electro-hydraulic power steering system, replacing the components and wiring, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 1, 2015. Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525.

Mini Countryman spied looking less and less Mini

Mon, Sep 12 2016

As the entire Mini lineup continues to grow in size, our latest spy shots for the upcoming Mini Countryman testing in Germany reveals the automaker's biggest car will stick to the trend of increasing semantic contradiction. This latest prototype drops some of its camouflage over the previously spied model that was spotted testing in the winter. Unlike the last test mule we saw, the disguised vehicle ditches the hexagonal grille for one that mimics the current model's design with a more traditional layout. The prototype also loses the sporty, multi-spoke wheels for a more boring, plastic-like set. The side and back end of the vehicle are heavily camouflaged, hiding the rear design of the prototype. But Mini's iconic taillights are still evident with the most current prototype only having one exhaust outlet, while the previously spotted model sported two. As expected, the next-gen Countryman should grow longer and wider. The increase in size will coincide with a switch to BMW's UKL2 platform. We also expect the Countryman to share the same three- and four-cylinder turbocharged engine options as vehicles on the same platform, namely the Mini Clubman and BMW X1. This prototype, with its low-end wheels and single exhaust outlet has us thinking that Mini is testing out one of its more fuel-efficient models. After the Countryman's debut, which is expected to happen at the Paris Motor Show in October, a performance-oriented John Cooper Works model and a plug-in hybrid variant should follow suit.
