The Nuffield Organization, which built Morris cars, was one of Britain's leading manufacturers following WW II and while production of the prewar Eight and Ten continued, the all-new Minor and Oxford debuted in late 1948. A low-priced car offering many features of higher-priced automobiles, the Minor mobilized the British population, much as VW's Beetle put postwar Germany on wheels. Some 1.5 million Minors were built by the time production ceased in 1971. The Minor was designed by British automotive legend Alec (later Sir Alec) Issigonis, who went on to greater fame for the wildly popular Mini.

The Minor was refined and improved over its lengthy production run and continued to impress the motoring press, with Auto Sport Review describing it as "one of the easiest-handling, best-cornering, most convenient small cars on the market." In 1956, Motor Trend described the Minor's engine as a "happy sounding little buzz bomb" and the overall package as "one of the best buys in the growing small car fieldas easy and delightful to drive as it is economical to operate and maintain."

The Traveller Estate Wagon, with its ample glass area, handsome varnished Ash external body framing, and practical side-hinged rear doors, joined the Minor model range in 1954. This exceptionally original right-hand drive example from 1957 features a highly pleasing patina and retains the original Grey paint finish and wooden bodywork and showing 17,900 miles. Power is delivered by a 1,098cc OHV inline 4-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual transmission and stopping power is provided by Lockheed 4-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

The Traveller's versatile Beige and Red 2-tone interior includes front bucket seats, an 80-mph speedometer, a rear bench seat, and roomy cargo compartment. Complete bright trim, full wheel covers, and period style Blackwall tires compete the exterior. An interesting additional feature is the British dealer sticker affixed to a rear window. Chic, cheeky, and exceptionally well preserved, this highly original 1965 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller Estate Wagon is a great example of the immensely successful Minor. Be sure to contact us today to see it for yourself, obtain full details, and get ready to add this wonderful British Woodie to your collection.

As-Is:
 
 
The Last Detail has described the above-mentioned vehicle to the best of our ability, however, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and recommend that the buyer inspect and test drive the vehicle before finalizing their purchase.  The Last Detail shall and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with the vehicle at the buyer’s request prior to close of sale.  No allowances or set aside will be made on account of any incorrectness, imperfection, defect or damage. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgement solely.  It is the sole responsibility of the buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Any and all differences must be addressed prior to the time of sale. The Last Detail assumes no responsibility for any repairs regardless of any oral statements about the vehicle.  Despite our best efforts to verify a vehicle’s mechanical condition, we are not able to warranty a manufacturer’s workmanship or a previous owner’s diligence in care of said vehicle.  There are no mechanical guarantees, expressed or implied. We will not be responsible for buyer’s remorse or issues to said vehicle once it has left our premises. We are being realistic; most of the cars we sell are vintage and by their very nature will need TLC and some degree of attention sooner or later.  Therefore, all vehicles are sold “AS IS”.  However, extended warranty options are available on most vehicles.  Please inquire if you are interested.
 
 
Mileage:
 
 
Vintage cars in excess of 10 years of age, in most US states, mileage may be recorded as “exempt”. The Last Detail makes no warranties as to the accuracy of the mileage indicated or shown and accepts no responsibility for any discrepancy with independent reports such as CarFax, Autocheck, etc. Unless the vehicle is advertised as an original mileage car, do not assume that the mileage/odometer reading is the actual mileage. It is simply what the odometer is reading at the time pictures are taken. MILEAGE IS NOT ACTUAL UNLESS STATED SO IN THE DESCRIPTION! Vehicles are test driven and mileage may vary at time of sale.
