Morris Minor Ute 1955

This beaut Morris Minor Pick up is
driven regularly- and is a head turner! This was manufactured in 1954, and imported to NZ as a Chassis cab. The pick up back is an original Wilco Welside, build in Auckland by the Wilton Motor Body Cov.,from the mid 1950s as NZ wouldn't allow UK backs to be imported. This is the 6th oldest Minor LCV Chassic cab on the UK Morris Minor (limited commercial vehicle) LCV register and about the 80th LCV on this register. There is only a few in NZ of this age, so IF YOU WANT A RARE MORRIS, this is it!

It is in sound original condition. Currently has a 950cc morris motor that runs very well. Few oil drips from the rear end of motor- slight only. I do have 850cc engine and gearbox that was in prior that can go with it but unknown condition. Great Upholstery, excellent carpets. Paint is weary with a few bubbles and some scratches. Very sound body, guards doors, chassis etc. Sills have been well repaired at some stage- no rust visible underneath in floor pain or chassis. Photo of this on one side. Picture of patch on chassis at front- well done. Few small bits of rust on wilco ute back but minor. It is currently registered and new WOF this month. It recently has had a muffler replaced, battery and brake work done. Brakes work great for a Morris! The previous owner fisholened the inside of the chassis so it would last another 60 years (sealed off all holes and poured fisholine into chassis). Good sound original floor pans. Note petrol filling is from extension on tray deck. Originally from tray side but flow was poor due to poor original design. Currently advertised elsewhere so may be withdrawn if sold elsewhere.
