1960 Morris Traveller 1000 Woodie 1960 M0rris Minor Traveller

Murray, Kentucky

Model Traveller 1000

Mileage 115000

Early last year I got this Morris from a storage building it had been in since 1974. The next door neighbor did not even know the car was in the building. It has all original interior, original paint and original wood. The original 950 was locked up I think from over heating. I have a 1275 I think will run included with the auction but its condition is unknown. Over all this Traveller is in fair to good condition. There is typical rust beneath the rocker panel area which is typical in Morris Minors but the floor pans are very good for its age. Some minor holes on the drivers floor but it would repair easy. There is a hole on the frame rail on the passenger side beneath the lower control arm. It could be repaired fairly easily now that the engine is out of the car, The wood is fair and has no finish on it at all right now. It will need to be replaced in a few years but I think will provide some services for a few more years after refinished, It will need a typical repairs found on a car that has not been on the road in more than 40 years. There are roof dents and dings from storage. There is some damage from an accident on the drivers side. The door could be repaired but I have a spare door I will include wit the sale. There is a piece of wood missing on the drivers side from the damage. I do have another drivers rear fender included wit the sale. I think this could be a drive with you restore it kind of car. Its very cool but I just have too many (8)other British cars I want to keep. I also have a few new items not seen in the auction included in the sale. The title is an older open title with may or may not work in your state. It's from the 1970's Email with questions. Your welcome to arrange to see it.

Model Morris Traveller W/Fiat 1800cc Twin Cam

Mileage 45000

1969 Morris Traveller w/Fiat 1800cc twin cam The Morris Minor was released to critical acclaim at the Earls Court Motor Show in 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis of Mini fame, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972. Initially available as a two-door sedan and convertible, the hugely successful car’s range was subsequently expanded to include a four-door saloon, panel van, pick-up truck, and a wood-framed station wagon, or estate, the Traveller. The Traveller featured an external wooden structural frame, in ash, for the rear bodywork, with two side-hinged rear doors. The frame was varnished rather than painted and a highly visible feature of the body style, similar to the American “Woodie” from most of the U.S. manufacturers. The car offered here is a bit of a sleeper, however. The A-series 1098cc engine has been replaced with an 1800cc twin-cam engine from a Fiat 124, together with the 5-speed manual gearbox. In standard trim, the Traveller could boast 48bhp. Now, this diminutive British icon produces 116 bhp, propelling the car with far more modern performance figures. It’s a blast and sounds the part too! The professionally performed engine swap was undertaken several years ago, with great attention to detail, including Morris-badged cam covers. The exhaust is routed through a twin box system to deliver a nice, throaty sound, and disc brakes at all 4 corners are served by a booster for modern stopping power. Suspension upgrades include converted tube shocks and thick front and rear sway bars for great handling. The build included a full rewire of the electrical system with modern style fuse and relay panel, a great improvement over the original Lucas system. The engine starts easily, idles well and has great responsive power. The clutch is excellent, and the car shifts well, though 3rd gear synchro is a little weak. Brakes, suspension and steering are great. The wheels are scuff-free and shod with good tires with plenty of tread remaining. To ready the car for sale, it has just been fully serviced and a new battery installed. The interior is in good condition. The freshly restored reclining bucket seats are a departure from the original, as is the Mountney steering wheel. A full array of gauges, including ammeter, tachometer, and oil and water temperature, have been nicely installed behind the steering wheel, complimenting the center speedometer. The pedals are top-hung - a very nice upgrade – and the green light on the end of the indicator stalk is fully functional. The original door panels are in good condition, as is the rear seat. The carpet is in perfectly reasonable condition. Paint and body on the car are fair to good. The all-important wood is in good, solid condition. Subject to an older repaint, it is showing wear, though the finish is consistent. There is no evidence of accident damage or repair. The body is generally rust-free, but the bottom of the door’s outer surface is showing some rust bubbling through. The floors, sills, and rear wheel tubs are solid as well as all other panels. There is rust in the rear valance, though it looks to be an easy repair. It could be a rolling restoration – drive it as is, or restore it as you go. All in all, this is a fantastically fun bit of iconic British design with the heart of an Italian sportscar. How can that not be a blast to own and drive. It gets waves and appreciation everywhere it goes, with a little surprise under the hood.

Morris Minor Traveller History

The clever little Morris Minor was a hit from the first time it was shown to the British public. Designed in the mid-Forties by Alec Issigonis, the Minor was introduced at the London Motor Show of 1948 sporting an up-to-the-minute unit constructed body, torsion bar front suspension, rack and pinion steering and a lower center of gravity achieved by using small 5.20 size tires on 14 inch wheels. This revolutionary design was on the cutting edge of small car development and years ahead of the prewar engineering that could be found under most of the European economy cars of the time.

Unfortunately, due to time and financial constraints, this ultra-new package came powered by a tried and true prewar Morris 918 cc flathead four and stump puller gearing instead of the 1000cc air cooled, opposed, flat four that was planned for it. While the old flathead proved adequate for the 35 MPH average speed driven on the two lane secondary roads that could be found in England and most of the empire at the time, the early Series MM Minors found little favor here in the States.

In 1952, Nuffield Motors, the firm that built Morris cars, merged with Austin to form the British Motor Corporation (BMC). The Minor, now called the Series II model, acquired Austin's new 803 cc OHV four. Heavily promoted with lines like "New Power For The Minor" and "0 to 50 mph in 28 seconds", the car became an English favorite and started to sell in the US as an economical "second" or "shopping" car.

1957 brought an even more powerful 948 cc four, a better transmission and a curved undivided windscreen. America was experiencing a recession during the late '50s, and car buyers were starting to re-examine their "bigger-is-better" attitudes. Our first foreign car "boom" was on. Though the top three selling imports were the VW beetle, Renault Dauphine and the Ford Anglia, the little Morris had alot going for it. Still perceived as a small car technology leader, the Minor 1000, as it now was called, inherited a somewhat "sporty" image from its MG and Austin-Healey brethren. The Morris also had the most extensive product line featuring both two and four door sedans, a convertible, a wood framed Traveller station wagon, a pickup and a delivery van. In 1961, the Minor became the first British car in to exceed 1,000,000 built.

The Morris 1000 continued, with only simple trim changes until it was pulled from the American market in 1962 due to lack of sales. Times had changed. The recession was over and our "Big Three" had introduced their own "compact" models. Though not nearly as economical as the imports, these cars provided the combination of a low purchase price and reasonable gas mileage with a larger size and flashy styling. Other than the VW and some sport and luxury models, foreign car sales were on the decline.

By 1967, the American compacts had ballooned into "mid-sized" cars featuring V8 power and most of the toys found on luxury models. Did Mom need a 300 horsepower, 3500 pound sedan to drive to the market and the hairdresser? Foreign economy sedans, now called "sub-compacts", were once again gaining popularity. The appeal of smaller, more agile and economical imports had increased to the point that even the Japanese had entered the market. Not to be left out, BMC re-introduced a now vastly improved Minor 1000. This car, with its new 1098cc motor, bigger brakes, better transmission, and higher rear end gearing provided relaxed freeway cruising and 42 mpg.

Over 1050 '67 Minors made it to these shores before BMC was forced to pull the plug again. This time, the 1968 EPA (smog) and DOT (safety) regulations would require all auto manufactures to re-engineer their products to comply and BMC decided to drop the importation of the Minor and put their efforts into the MG 1100/1300 sedan and the Austin America. The Minor continued in various forms overseas until mid-1971. Over 1.5 million were built by the end of production. In total, 65,000 were imported to the US between !949 and 1967.

THE TRAVELLER

The Minor Traveller was introduced in 1954 as a Series II model. The unit construction floor and "cab" section was built at the main Morris plant at Cowley, then shipped to the MG factory at Abingdon to be fitted with the wood and aluminum rear "doghouse" structure. MG was just phasing out the wood frame bodied, TF to make way for the all steel MGA and their fully staffed woodshop was just the ticket for the Traveller woodwork. Always popular, the woodies were built beside the trucks until the end of production in 1971, while passenger car assembly ceased in 1969.

Morris Minor - 1000 (1956 to 1973)

Introduced in 1956, the Minor 1000 was the last major generation of Morris Minor produced. Named the 1000 for its 1.0L inline four engine, the Minor 1000 was available as a two door saloon, four door saloon, two door convertible, estate (Traveller), van, and pickup. As well as its new engine, the Minor 1000 received a raft of improvements and upgrades aimed at modernizing the model, and offering greater drivability. Among the most notable changes was an improved 4 speed manual transmission that featured taller gear ratios allowing for easier motorway cruising. In 1962, Morris updated the 1000, fitting a larger 1.1L engine, but leaving the variant name unchanged. Although production of the standard Minor 1000 ended in 1971, Morris continued to produce commercial vans and pickups based on the 1000 until 1973.

1962 Morris Minor Traveller

David's review, “ a light and running-engine lovely project. ”.

This 1969 Morris Minor Traveller underwent restoration approximately ten years ago by a previous owner before being acquired by the vendor's father in 2016. It remained in use, evident from the MoT history, until late 2018, when it was carefully stored. Despite regular use, the vendor's father acknowledged that some fettling was necessary to restore the Morris to its former glory. 

Vehicle Story

The Morris Minor is the quintessential British car, and the Traveller, or ‘Woodie’ as it is fondly known, is the quintessential British estate. These are cars forever gently evocative of church fetes, country lanes with high hedgerows, village cricket, buck-toothed vicars, cucumber sandwiches and pubs where the locals just stare at you until you leave. It’s a uniquely British thing.

Designed, like the original 1948 Minor saloon, by Alec Issigonis, the highly practical Traveller, with its folding back seat and rear doors that could be left open for carrying long loads, was one of the last cars to use a structural wood frame. Launched in 1953, it was deliberately distinguished from the Minor van by being given quality features such as stainless steel door window frames on the longer doors of the two-door saloon – the van using short doors shared with the four-door. It also used the two-door saloon platform rather than the chassis-cab layout of the pick-up and van. The steel roof stopped at the back of the doors, where it was joined to an aluminium rear roof mounted on the structural wood frame, which was bolted to the floorplan and B-posts – inset panels were aluminium too, though the rear wings were still steel.

A particularly clever feature – typical of Issigonis – was that the spare wheel and tools were stored in a separate compartment under the boot floor, revealed on opening the rear doors – so there was no need to disturb luggage in order to change a wheel.

Progressive development saw the Minor engine grow to 1098cc in 1963, with higher gearing that made the car much more capable on the faster roads of today than earlier models. When The Motor tested a 1098cc Traveller just like this in 1965, it concluded it was an ideal vehicle “for the family man with a small business or the businessman with a small family”. The Traveller proved the most enduring version of the Minor, continuing in production for six months after the last saloon was made – the final Traveller being completed in April 1971.

Vehicle Overview

This 1969 Morris Minor Traveller underwent restoration approximately ten years ago by a previous owner before being acquired by the vendor's father in 2016. It remained in use, evident from the MoT history, until late 2018, when it was carefully stored. Despite regular use, the vendor's father acknowledged that some fettling was necessary to restore the Morris to its former glory. 

The last MoT test was conducted on the 16th of April 2018. Therefore, a recommissioning is advisable before taking it for a drive, as the vendor is uncertain about the last service or maintenance performed by her father.

The exterior of the Traveller appears to be in good condition, having undergone a minor restoration less than ten years ago; it is finished in what is believed to be Old English White, although this cannot be confirmed. The typical problem areas, such as the wings and doors, seem to be in good order with no signs of major corrosion or blisters. Aside from the usual chips and scratches, there were no major dings or dents noted.

Starting at the front, the grille is in good condition with no damage to the slats, and the chrome trim surround is in good order. The bumper shows some minor age-related tarnishing, but there are no signs of corrosion. The headlights and indicators are free from any damage and have a bright finish. The bonnet has retained the original badge and lift handle, which exhibits a similar amount of tarnishing to match the bumper, consistent with the Traveller’s age. Further up, the chrome hinges have a bright finish, the windscreen appears to be free from any chips or cracks, and the seal looks to be in good order with just a small amount of overspray on the edge.

Looking down the sides, the doors hang well and appear to be level on each side. The windows are all in good order, as are the chrome surrounds, door mirrors, and door handles. Moving on to the unique part of the Traveller, the English Ash wood frame, it appears to be in good condition with no obvious signs of rot. There are some darker areas in the corners, possibly caused by water ingress, but overall, it seems to be in good condition.

At the rear end, the twin Ash-framed doors align well and, like the wood frame, appear to be in good condition. The windows also look to be in good order. The light lenses are free from any splits or cracks, and the quarter bumpers have some minor corrosion that has broken through the chrome finish.

The steel wheels, painted to match the body, exhibit some corrosion, but they shouldn't take much to freshen up. They are finished with the original M hubcaps that are in good order, and a matching set of Nankang tyres are fitted, showing a good amount of remaining tread.

Stepping inside the Traveller transports you straight back to the 60s, where the red leather seats are very well presented in both the front and rear. While there is some slight creasing on the front seats, there's no damage or noticeable wear. The door cards may well be the originals, displaying some signs of age and a small amount of staining, but overall, they are in very good condition with no rips or tears. There are also front and rear seatbelts fitted. 

The original three-spoke steering wheel is in good condition, showing only a small amount of age-related wear. Behind it, the metal dashboard remains unmarked, with no chips or dents. The instrument binnacle functions as it should, and the odometer displays a reading of 89,022 miles, which tallies with the MoT history. The toggle switches and heater controls exhibit a slight degree of wear, contributing to the charming patina of this classic British vehicle.

Looking above, the headlining is taut and free from sagging or stains. The red carpets appear to have been replaced and are in excellent condition throughout. Moving to the boot area, the clean and tidy grey finish sets a neat backdrop. Beneath the floor, the spare wheel and jack are present.

History Highlights

The Traveller was registered on the 1st of October 1969 and, as mentioned, is thought to have undergone restoration approximately 10 years ago. A substantial history file accompanies the vehicle, documenting service work conducted and various parts fitted over the years. 

Reviewing the MoT history reveals that the car has been consistently in use since 2005 and potentially even earlier, covering an annual mileage ranging from a minimum of 100 to a maximum of 2,500 miles.

What We Think

Overall the Traveller presents well. Yes, there are some areas which need to be addressed, but after all, it is just over 54 years old, so to be expected. It has come from an enthusiast owner who purchased it seven years ago and continued to regularly use and enjoy it. 

From the condition, we would say it is an ideal base to take it to the next level or enjoy it for what it is and have some fun; for this reason, we expect the Morris Minor Traveller to fetch in the region of £5,000 - £8,000.

History Report

With only 2 former registered keepers, our traveller has only amassed an extraordinarily low 11,090 miles. During a sympathetic restoration from the previous owner, it received new seat covers, carpets and retrimmed boot and at some point we believe it may have had a new engine. We acquired the car in 2018 and have replaced the floor pan, inner and outer sills, jacking point, front offside inner and outer wing and made repairs to the woodwork. It’s now looking remarkably well for its 57 years and ready to be enjoyed for many more years to come.

As useful and it is charming the Morris Minor Traveller is undoubtedly a British treasure.

Finance rates as low as 8.9% .

We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.

We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.

Terms available up to 144 Months

However, as with all pre-owned automobiles, the condition is subjective, and we recommend that the potential buyer fly out to inspect, as well as test drive any of our vehicles before finalizing their purchase. If it is not feasible for you to personally perform an inspection, we will gladly help facilitate an inspection by an independent service center of your choice and will make delivery arrangements of the vehicle for this purpose. All vehicles are sold in “AS IS” condition. Extended warranty options are available on most vehicles. Please be advised that no verbal statements concerning any vehicle constitutes a representation or warranty of said vehicle. Our goal is to provide you with the best service and buying experience as possible.

Pertaining to non-eBay winners: Anyone who has provided a deposit but whose purchase is still pending, please note that said vehicle will not be held and is subject to being sold at any time until all contingencies are removed and the purchase order is signed.

All used vehicles should be assumed to have some degree of wear. We do not manufacture our product. Each vehicle’s brand has its strengths, styles, tendencies, and shortcomings.
