1953 Split Screen Morris Minor Convertible For Sale

For Sale

1953 Series MM Morris Minor Convertible Black with beige hood, beige seats and burgundy carpets.

10, 000 miles since total nut and bolt restoration that was completed 7 years ago and only 2 years ago had a full respray to a very high standard.

Maintained in excellent condition with no concern for time or cost.

Fitted with the later 1098 gearbox and differential, this car keeps up with traffic very well.

Upgrades include :

Servo assisted front ( disc ) and rear ( drum ) brakes.
Alternator Conversion
Halogen lights.
Revtek electric fan engine cooling.
Remote brake fluid reservoir.
Rear Spax telescopic adjustable shock absorbers.
Flashing trafficator indicators.
Temperature gauge.
Two USB power cables and One Cigarette Lighter power point all discreetly positioned out of view.
LED dashboard lighting.
Upgraded "non stick" carburetor float valve.
Electronic Ignition.
Spin on type oil filter conversion.
Mostly stainless steel bolts and screws.

Full beige leather interior with burgundy piping with no damage.

Unmarked windscreen ( no chips or scratches as it was replaced only 2 years ago ).

Chassis is also body colour and very very clean with no rust.

Box sections all wax oiled.

Properly registered as a four seater car and for anyone looking to import a proper classic car as a four seater..... you probably won't be able to without a serious headache.

The quality of this vehicle has to be seen to be believed and has been kept to a pedantic standard and although not perfect is as close as you can get for a car that is used many times every week.

The Morris Minor is a simple manual gearbox car with a straight four cylinder engine. Maintenance is simple and is therefore ideal as a first introduction to classic car motoring or as a car with no worries of big maintenance costs.

Parts are plentiful from the UK from Morris Minor specialists. It is not a sports car but it has the looks of a glamorous superstar and attracts attention and smiles wherever it goes.

The MM series Morris Minor is also one of the rarest of the Minors and even rarer being a convertible ( tourer ). It is unlikely that you could find another one of these cars in such brilliant condition, and virtually impossible to bring another into Hong Kong.

Many of you will have seen the car at the Classic Car Club of Hong Kong drives and events including the annual Chater Road Show at which the car won the prize for best Chassis only two years ago. The car has decent provenance and anyone that knows me will know everything done to the car has always been to a top standard.

This is not a sale for profit, I've owned the car for 12 years and have spent a fortune on restoration and maintenance work. It has been a labor of love by a genuine classic car enthusiast.

Only two years ago I shipped the car from Hong Kong to Italy and then onto France, Switzerland ( the ALPS ) and the UK on tour....

Car is licensed until mid December 2017.

I'm selling this car as my wife prefers to hide away from the sun these days ( poitless having the roof down ), my Son is nearly 16 years old and about six foot tall so can't stretch his legs out in the back seat. I'm also spending less time in Hong Kong than I have done so in the past 23 years.

I could ship it back to the UK but I have several classic cars there already so don't need more and know how difficult it is to import a car into Hong Kong, especially to get it registered as a legal 4 seater so consider it wiser to sell here in Hong Kong !!

Price is a very reasonable HK$288, 000.

The car lives up on Conduit Road in Mid Levels. Please call me ( Charles ) on 97799016. Sorry but I'm not on Facebook as I have a habit of making friends with the wrong kind of people ( my wife says that are apparently too good looking )...... so facebook is finished..... but feel free to call me, or send me a whatsapp or wechat.

I know every nut and bolt on the car and so whoever buys it will have a very knowledgeable encyclopedia of knowledge at their fingertips !

Oh yes, and I have a file of all receipts spent on the car since I bought it in 2005 together with old tax discs, and a lot of other history as well as pictures of the original restoration and lots more.... Its sad to let the car go, but I need to move on and let someone else enjoy the celebrity attention that this car brings wherever it goes.
