For sale by Auction on may 7th


Lot 167 – Morris Minor “Split Window” 948cc 1955

Estimated Value : £4,000 -£5,000

Having been owned by the vendor for the last five years this delightful “Moggy Split Screen” is in very nice condition throughout and comes with lots of paperwork, receipts and old MOT’s. Over the year various restoration works have been carried out making it the nice car it is today.

The overall condition of the exterior and interior are both said to be very good, the gloss black exterior having a good shine to it while the red interior is in nice contrast and very presentable. There is some ageing in places but that just adds to the feel of the car.

Mechanically everything is spot on, the 948cc motor pulling the car along happily while the gearbox and clutch work correctly. These cars are not meant to be raced about, just enjoyed at a more sedate pace of life, but if you do feel the need, they make the most of their small engine and easy to live with basic suspension and are surprisingly sure footed and agile, hence why when first launched, the Police, Mid Wifes Etc Etc used a “Moggy”.

Over all the electrics and general running gear conditions are rated as very good so no problems there and everything functioning correctly and of course it is road tax and MOT free.

Backed up by a world-wide owners club with spares and advice on hand by the bucketful, it’s hardly surprising that these robust, fun and easy to live with cars are one of the most popular classic cars on the market today.
