1970 MORRIS MINOR 'CLARISSA' CONVERTIBLE ~ VERY PRESENTABLE SOLD

A pretty & presentable Morris Minor Convertible affectionately known as 'Clarissa' who was born in 1970 as a 1098cc saloon and re-dressed in her distinctive Maroon coat complete with a contrasting beige hood. We believe she underwent a program of restoration and at the same time an open top conversion in the mid nineties (V5 correctly states Convertible next to body type). She starts on the first turn of the key and runs very well indeed. Showing 39, 890 miles on the clock. Nice wheels and good tyres all round. Fully waxoyled underneath. Over forty-eight years young this fun convertible is tax exempt and very economical to insure under classic insurance (excellent for first time drivers). Historic tax (free of course). MOT exempt.

Date of first registration: 08/ 05/ 1970
Registration Number:  RFV 172H
Chassis Number:    MA2S5-1259990M
Engine Number:    10V189EH 14939


A pretty & presentable Convertible that draws many admiring glances. Solid throughout from the chassis to the floor pans to the spring hangers. The inner wheel arches front and rear are all in great condition too.

Can be used, enjoyed & improved over time. The roof has a tear on one stitched seam (nothing major), the paint has a few blemishes and marks and the interior trim (although no rips) has some pigment staining (some would call it 'patina'!!)

Great entry level investment into a reasonably priced Convertible that is, to all intent and purposes, no different to the factory built models.

It's clear to see why these little gems have achieved iconic classic status and are the perfect entry into classic motoring.
