Built under British Leyland’s stewardship in its final years, this late model Series V ADO59 four-door saloon variant features the 1,098cc inline four which produced a heady 48bhp, some 21bhp more than the original unit fitted to the 1948 MM version at launch.
First registered in March 1968 and finished in traditional Almond green, this Minor has evidently been well treated and looks as good today, as it likely did when leaving the factory gates in the late 60’s. Recently treated to a full respray the car shines like a new penny and boasts a lovely refreshed interior plus a particularly clean and tidy engine bay.
NKL 333F’s history file includes the V5C, hand book, 14 old MOTs dating back to 2000 showing only minimal mileage covered and a current MOT until April 2020 with no advisories. There is also a selection of invoices including an invoice from Morris Minor specialist Charles Ware in Bristol for a long list of parts including (but not limited to), pedal rubbers, new carpets, cushion covers, fan belt, bonnet pull, washer bottle and service kit dated July 2017.
The ultimate classic in so many respects, this splendid late Minor looks ready to use and enjoy straight away.
