1960 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible – Factory Tourer with Disc Brakes A rare opportunity to acquire a genuine factory-built 1960 Morris Minor 1000 Convertible, finished in a charming shade of blue and featuring tasteful upgrades for reliability and safety.
Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, the Morris Minor first appeared in 1948 and was years ahead of its time, featuring monocoque construction and rack-and-pinion steering — innovations that made it one of Britain’s most beloved classics. Over 1.6 million examples were produced between 1948 and 1971, including the sought-after “Tourer” convertible models like this one.
This particular car, identified by its MAT chassis number, confirms it is a factory-produced convertible, not a later conversion. First registered on 25th October 1960, it has had just two owners in the last 40 years. The previous custodian (since 2013) invested significantly in sympathetic upgrades to enhance drivability and reliability, including:
New clutch and steering rack New wiring loom Servo-assisted disc brakes Halogen headlights New hood Unleaded head conversion Electronic ignition The accompanying history file includes 31 old MOTs, supporting the low mileage of only 22,000 miles since 1988.
This is a well-presented example that’s ideal for shows, Sunday drives, or classic touring, offering a wonderful blend of originality and practicality.
Part exchange welcome – ancient or modern, funds either way.
