A.R Morris Ltd

Advantages: a delight to own- no-one smiles at a man driving a Mondeo
Disadvantages: Not a one-off investment- it takes money sometimes

...I am an absolute fanatic about cars of yesteryear. I don?t mean the old crocs that needed a man carrying a red flag in front of it, what I mean is the cars that were developed and which sold in their droves from the early 1950s until the 1970s. These are the cars that brought the joys of motoring to ?normal? people in this great land of ours. They are the true classics. The car that I love is arguably the most popular classic car in the whole world. It was the first British production car to sell more than one million examples, and came in various guises, such as two and four-door saloons, two-door convertibles, wooden-clad estates, as well as pick up and van versions. It is the car that has long been considered a joke, associated with district nurses and country vicars. It was the star of the 1948 motor show. It is the Morris Minor... Read review

Disadvantages: full restro cars fetch money, cheapos often need work.

...The morris minor is one of those cars i like to call "CLASSIC OF CLASSICS" when people think of classics, a lot of people think of the beetle and the minors! LOOKS Not bad at all for a car over 30 years old, infact quite good looking, its roundish!!! Most cars of its day were more square! It looks cute, and almost smiles at you, with those massive headlamp eyes! Like one of the other Morris minor reviews states, no - one smiles at you in a everyday car. This is a real head turner! Comfort Again not brilliant, but not bad at all, this car is over 30 years old, the seats are off a good qulaity, even more so if the car has been cared for!

...The Morris Minor is an affordable gateway into the classic car world. New cars these days are silver and seem to follow a convention nobody wrote. The Morris Minor has a distinct, different image. Driving down the street in this car will cast onlookers to glance and regale their memories or simply intrigue them, either way people notice you. The bonnet is the most striking feature; it has American 50's charm with a British feel. Tinkering with these cars is simply a doddle compared to cars nowadays. Overall a good buy and with the 1000cc it has an impressive power to weight ratio. These cars keep well to; a 35-year-old model will come out new with a bit of polish. <<<Interior Good quality vinyl with a stay young factor. A tear does however spell problems. The central speedo and gauge board is the most interesting interior feature... Read review
