For sale is this 1959 Morris Minor Series 3 model 1000, 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, N. 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, hich it has become, nd 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, t runs and drives very well and research says it gets 40 MPG.
