Basic English:1961 Morris Minor

Up until 1967, you could be the proud owner of a brand-new 15-year-old car procured from a stateside importer. But back in mid-60's, most English cars still looked like 2/3 scale 1950's American cars. In the land of planned obsolescence and free gas, that sales pitch went over like a rolling unsynchronized first gear downshift.

7k: Something's Screwy: 1986 Mini Supercharged

The Morris Mini is the golden retriever of cars, instantly recognized and adored by the masses for its playful demeanor. Its introduction in 1958 was a precursor to the British invasion. Over the following decades, the unapologetically British runabout has had its identity seeped into the public view like Earl Grey tea on tooth enamel. In America, its diminutive size and largely untreated sheet metal left it vulnerable to to rust and Roadmasters alike, and the ones that haven't been flattened or decayed wind up over-restored to a price tag no Mini should bear. This one is still guilty on several counts of rust (they all are), but should have enough grunt to escape the current breed of American road predators. And it's cheaper than any of those P-cars in the background. Find this supercharged 1986 Mini for sale in Raleigh, NC for $6,500 via craigslist. Tuesday, May 13, 2014
10k: Samurai Swapped: 1961 Morris Minor, Suzuki Inline-4 Power

Over 1.2 million examples of the Morris Minor were sold between 1948 and 1972. The Minor was built by Morris Motors Limited in
the UK and would be easy to dismiss for an Austin Mini imitator (family sedan built in bulk, many variants
available, old styling lasting for decades), but the Minor predated the Mini and was designed for folks other than midgets. It used a front engine / rear drive setup instead of the Mini's
front/front...which makes it much easier to swap in something odd. Find this 1961 Morris Minor with Suzuki Samurai inline-4 power offered for $12,500 in Bensalem, PA via craigslist. Tip from David K.Tuesday, March 25, 2014
5k: Lancia Powered: 1969 Morris Minor Traveller Woody Wagon
The Morris Minor was an economy car that was sold in huge quantities (over 1.2 million) from 1948 to 1972 built by Morris Motors Limited in the UK. It would be easy to mistake the Minor for an Austin Mini imitator (family sedan built in large quantities, many variants available, old styling lasting for decades), but the Minor is much larger and used a front-engine rear drive setup instead of the Mini's front-front. Today's Minor Traveller (wood framed station wagon) could easily be mistaken for another old slowmobile, but it has some major improvements under the hood.
