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".

I just so happen to know someone who has a suitable Morris Minor for this ringing kit.

^^^ Don't know about your number plates query but pics of the Seat hearse -

From the front it looks a bit like a 60s Hillman Minx / Humber Sceptre.

Farina Austin Cambridge style rear lamps.

Unusual, I like it.

Thanks for that I couldn't find a way of copying the pictures. A deal might be on the cards. He says he will pick me up from the airport and it would drive find to Bilbao and the ferry

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-litre-Capri-ghia/142657954459?hash=item213713a29b:g:Ht4AAOSwE95aXdcE

 

Cappa 3-litre Ghia auto loaded with filler by Stevie Wonder in a hurry then the whole bottom half rattle-canned silver on a windy day, tailpipes sprayed too. In one of the front-view pics the masking tape is still on the car above the bumper. You can smell the paint by just looking at the pics.

 

Thousands of these tatty ones driving around 25-30 years ago and could have been picked up for maybe £250 with long mot. Just cheap reliable V6 daily driving at the time, loads being re-welded for another mot or broken for spares. Ask me how I know.

Nice Essex twin exhaust burble, especially if uprated camshaft, etc. Some ratty neglected-looking ones were actually highly tuned and FAST!!!

 

This one currently at £4000. Usual welding history on DVLA.

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...

 

Fraud Garages may be able to help with that...
