Look very carefully at the under-bonnet pictures.
Lower down the bulkhead and inner wings it is as rusty as hell. Also look at the join between the inner wings and the wings and the fit of the front panel. The Morris Minor, as with most unit-construction cars made in the 1950s, 60s and 70s rusted away like fun. The paintwork is far too bright for an original car; and the wrong colour. I would suggest the rust has been covered with pudden and the car has had a quick blow over. |

Still a fun motor, especially with big fat tyres and an MGB power unit under the bonnet. Finish it off with a single big bore exhaust out the back in the middle and you have my first car in the early 70's. Yes, colour should be much lighter or darker, sorry, who cares! Fun stuff!

(Still, I see that it sold...) |
