Lots of Mk1s on the market at the moment, don't think I've ever seen so many, this is a nice '60 Morris in Cherry Red (or one of the earliest '59s in the world, whichever way you want to look at it :lol: ). I'm sure it was in original paint last time I saw it.

there has some serious work gone into that, I don't think I have ever seen bubble arches that go right up to the roof gutter!

I bet that Honda engine really tears those ditch finder 145/10 tyres up - it will be like a terrier on a wet lino floor..............................


if ever a car needed some deep dish wheels that is it!!!

The ad. states a very early 1959 VIN number...shell looks later...rain gutter...twin tanks etc. These could have been added by an owner...
It might be a real 59.....says it has smooth windows...when did the rain gutter lip start?
Smooth windows would make it a very early shell.

What are "smooth windows"?

Are you referring to the feature of no depression around the windscreen and back window?

MkI register says drip rail was added in May 60

If you need a 998 Cooper speedo, this doesn't look too bad a price compared with many I've seen...
