1957 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller. LoCation, near Wilmington, North Carolina.
Here's a 69-year-old Morris Traveller with presentable ash framing and an honest underside that you can actually drive and enjoy. It starts with one pull of the starter button, every time. The doors shut solidly.
This car has electronic ignition, all four shock absorbers have been rebuilt, and the transmission was rebuilt.
Originally 948cc
Upgraded to later 1,098cc A-series engine
Key Specifications and Design
Transmission: 4-speed manual transmission with an unsynchronized first gear.
Body Style: Distinctive two-door station wagon featuring an exposed structural ash wood timber frame in the rear.
Layout: Rear-wheel drive system with compact dimensions and light handling.
This 1957 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller is a left-hand-drive Series III. It is finished in British Racing Green with a complementary Red velour and vinyl interior. She is powered by a 1098cc inline-four coupled to a four-speed manual transmission. These Travellers are a truly great classic example of the Morris 1000 and will add interest and pleasure to you collection and driving experience. This 1957 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller has a clean North Carolina title. The 14″ steel wheels with polished hubcaps are mounted with P175/ Z75R 14 tires. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear, and the whole car was overhauled in the last 10 years. The steering wheel is in great condition and the dashboard has a centrally located Smiths 80-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows 38,914 miles. This car has been well cared for and maintained and will provide her new owner a great recreational vehicle that will always please the crowd; after all it's British! This car is solid and will deliver hours and miles of fun.
Designed by Alec Issigonis, later of Mini design fame, the Minor 1000 had performance that eventually extended to a top speed of 70 mph, slightly faster than the 1,200 cc Volkswagen Beetle of the same era.
The chassis was well ahead of its time, with rack-and-pinion steering, torsion-bar front suspension and unitary welded one-piece body sans separate frame.
In Britain, these cars are ubiquitous at collector car events in much the same way that 1955–57 Chevrolets or early Mustangs are in North America, but in North America they are much less common.
The kind of people who bought Minors new were typically people who didn’t want the idiosyncrasies of Volkswagen Beetles, but who appreciated well-engineered, conventional small cars. For such a diminutive car, rarity and a loyal following make for higher values than you’d think, especially in the United States where they are rarer than in England.
