Price: US $8,500.00

Description:

For sale is this 1959 Morris Minor Series 3 model 1000, 2 door Saloon . This is a car rarely seen in the USA and hardly ever at car shows on Long Island. It was destined to be a daily driver but could easily be improved upon and turned into a show car as most of the hard work has been completed already.
Car history - purchased and transported from Saint Cloud, MN. On 3/10/13 as a project car. Since then it has undergone a extensive amateur restoration with the goal in mind to make it a reliable fun driver, which it has become, and has reached this stage in October 2015. The previous owner had purchased it at a auction so earlier history could not be found. Unfortunately due to health problems the car must be sold, it runs and drives very well and research says it gets 40 MPG.
