CAUTION!! CAR FOR SALE: 1966 Morris 1100

Gonna risk putting this on here even though the last car thread didnt go very well. This is, however, only for sale here! Only for sale as a little one on the way means I need to be all sensible.

This was the next design from Issigonis after the mini, and is basically a scaled-up version without the price tag. Once Britain's best selling car, there aren't many at all now though their silhouette still appears on road signs to this day. This is a very useable car with such wonders as wipers, indiactors, a heater, nice light steering, plenty of visibility and a doddle to park. They also have a great ride quality thanks to hydroelastic suspension.

1966 Morris 1100

1275 Engine with higher diff gearing meaning it can go on motorways happily as well as being great for bombing around town.
Halogen headlights
LED interior and dash lights
Plenty of patina, but crucially very solid!
Current MOT with one advisory for a CV boot.
MOT exempt, ULEZ exempt and tax exempt, with insurance costing about £90 a year.
Everything works and is just generally brilliant to bomb around in.

I'm after £2700

Viewing in SE5 if you're interested!

Does it come with a strong smell of oil?

Must be crowdfunded, bought and liveryed up in LFGSS CC colours as a support vehicle

“cunt car” across the top of the windscreen obvs

Decathlon car park in the first pic?

Decathlon Surrey Quays specifically?

weird car park fetish above

It looks like it. It's quite a smelly car park from what I remember

Car park weirdos. Awesome car, glws.

It is indeed Decathlon in Surrey Quays. God knows what tent or inflatable canoe I was lusting after that day.

I do know that someone was all “bloody hell mate that’s gorgeous” which ignited enough pride in me to take those photos

I don’t remember the car park smelling of anything other than VALUE

Surrey Docks.

(Lovely car).

“Now what I would do is keep that lovely patina, retrim the interior, get rid of those god awful roof racks and put something more in keeping with the era on. Then strap some suitcases to the top and we have a useable, fun classic with the added bonus of it being approved by me”
“ That’ll be £8k please “

@Jackytwoshoes - my dad's been on the lookout for a practical classic. i'm seeing him later today so i'll show him the pics.

Not ULEZ compliant like my Range Rover though

Nice! Lemme know if you need more details

Rep for ballsing it out after the for sale thread

Historic vehicles are ULEZ exempt

Yeah but acting within the rules and acceptable behaviour are two different things ;)

I know. A joke, don't worry. That's why i added italics.

Your mum had one too when I met her…

cheers. I showed him the photos. think he'd be keen to have a look of it was a bit closer but he lives in Lincoln so a bit far for him to travel.
worth a shot though as he has been looking at these.

their silhouette still appears on road signs to this day

Is that so? Great bit of trivia, that.
Great little car - GLWS!

Indeed!

Thinking about this now, I think the motorbike might be a Police spec Velocette
