In 1956 the Morris Minor was again updated. These needed improvements included a larger engine that now was 57.9 Cu In as well as a curved one piece windscreen that replaced the old two piece version. With the convertibles being harder and harder to find these days, many coupes are being chopped and converted to convertibles. This particular car is a true, '65 Morris Minor 1000 convertible that has gone through an older restoration to make it what you see today. Outside, the car is in great condition. The paint and black soft top are both less then 2 years old and look great. The paint does show a few small blemishes but no rot to the very solid body. The front and rear bumpers are both in good condition and have a nice shine to them with no major imperfections. The black cloth soft top is free of any rips or tears and operates as it should. The plastic rear window is free of any staining or tears. Inside, the interior looks almost completely new. The reupholstered red vinyl seats look great with the yellow exterior and show no wear. The same goes for the red door panels and carpet. This is a right hand drive car which makes it even more fun driving down the road! The gauges all work as they should in the center as well as all lights, blinkers and horn. The car has had seat belts added in the front and rear. Under the hood, the little 57.9 Cu In 4 cylinder runs great and starts up with a turn of the key. The engine is nicely detailed and appears to be very original. The 4 speed manual transmission shifts as it should and the clutch is strong. I've had the car on a 40 mile trip at speeds up to 60mph and it drives great. The car steers straight and brakes as it should. The underside is very solid with no rot that we have found. There has been a slight coat of undercoating applied to prevent any rust in the future. The VIN number is MAT5D1118522 and shows that the car is a true convertible. The current mileage shows 82,6677 and is being sold on a clean Texas title.
