Have never seen that variant of the Alpine / Simca before, interesting.

 

I wonder how well these might have sold had they been a regular production family estate.

(Maybe they were sold outwith the UK??).

Shame that's a good £750 - £1k over priced, otherwise I'd go investigate it. Not many sub 2k Dolomites around for sale at the moment unfortunately. Just typical as I figure out a storage solution so I can get something else...

Those Clan/McCoys must be one of few cars where the engine has migrated from one end of the car to the other. It at least still looks the same unlike the Beetles.

Doesn't feel like a lot of cars are being bought right now (time of the year and all that) but if anyone DOES fancy this little beaut, then I'm in Northants on Friday and would be more than happy to help with logistics.

 

The price is a bit 'north' tho amirite?

1963 Morris Minor. Only one owner from new. With history. Registration AOT 428A.

 

Sounds interesting. 55 years of history, wow.

Let's have a look. . . .

Quote from the Ebay ad, "The car was completely rotten and scrapped, I also have the original numberplates".

 

 

Hmmm. A bit like selling Trigger's Broom. Except you don't have the broomhandle or the head either. Just the receipt and an instruction manual.

 

Ahh, but, I can hear ringing in my ears and I don't have tinnitus.

I can see it now, near-future Ebay ad, May 2018 →

 

**************

 

"Here we have a one owner Morris Minor 1963, in luvverly corndition, all ready for summer".

 

"On 1st March 1963 John Cecil Martin, 10 Jerratt's Lane, Triangle Gardens, Southampton got up out of bed at 6.30, had a boiled egg for breakfast, and took the number 9 bus into town.

 

The reason for his journey - to buy a brand new Morris Minor, a car he'd always promised himself, . . blah blah, . . lovingly polished, . . Simoniz Turtle Wax, . . . heated garage, . . dust sheet every night, . . . bless his cotton socks, . . . picnic basket, . . . woman next door.

 

Presented to you today, . . . blah patina, . . , sympathetically restored in it's original blue, some of the paintwork may even be original, as polished by Mr John Cecil Martin himself. This piece of Morris motoring history is a credit to it's loving former owner.

 

We have the full history since day one of this splendid Morris motor car, registered AOT 428A, right up to it's last tax disc in January 1998 when the vehicle went into long-term storage. Yes, we have that actual tax disc. The Morris still proudly wears it's original and correct pair of numberplates, of course,

£12,995".
