If the DVLA website can be believed, this Morris Mini hasn’t been on the road since 1985. It would be great to see it restored.
From the seller: “YOU ARE BIDDING FOR MY 1960 MORRIS 850 DE-LUXE
THIS LITTLE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN A BARN FOR THE PAST 30YRS AND HAS ACQUIRED THE MOST AMAZING PATINA WHICH REALLY GIVES IT CHARACTER, AND WOULD BE GREAT TO PRESERVE IT
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH ANOTHER COMPLETE UNIT FROM A 1960 MINI.
I HAVE THE ORIGINAL NUMBERS MATCHING ENGINE WHICH WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE.
THE MINI RUNS AND DRIVES VERY WELL BUT REQUIRES FURTHER WORK TO MAKE IT FULLY ROAD WORTHY.
THE BODY HAS HAD SOME REPAIRS ,REAR VALANCE, BOOT FLOOR, DRIVERS DOOR HINGE PANEL, THE PASSENGER SIDE NEEDS SOME ATTENTION.
I HAVE THE V5C IN MY NAME
COMES WITH HERITAGE CERTIFICATE.
THERE ARE A FEW SPARES IN THE CAR THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE”
