Gang,

The car belongs to an old friend in San Francisco and really needs some one who can use and enjoy it - With the automatic, it is no powerhouse but it drives great and is well put together - I'm blasting this all over CA as Bob really wants to sell it soon. Check it out and pass it on...

Thanks,

Rick

1967 Morris Minor Traveller For Sale
Stock Appearance- Updated mechanicals/automatic transmission

This beautiful dark green 1967 Traveller had been totally restored in Yorkshire, England in 1984 and bought by Michael Freeman, an American engineer, while he was on work assignment in the UK. Mike brought the little car back to San Jose, CA when his job was completed. He drove the woody occasionally on weekends for less than a year when he was reassigned to the Denver area and the car went into storage in Union City, CA. When he learned that he was going to be there permanently, he called the Morris Minor Club to say it was for sale

The present owner found out about the car from the local chapter of the Morris Minor Registry because he wanted to give it to his wife as a combination birthday and anniversary gift to use in the Antique store that she was planning to open..  He bought it and had it serviced and detailed before hiding it in the garage for the big surprise. 

An additional surprise was that she was unable to make peace with the stick shift and the car was used only sparingly on weekends with hubby at the wheel. 

In the late 1990s, the car was sent to Morris Minor guru Bruce Wyman (Morriservice founder) in Grass Valley, CA and professionally converted to a Datsun 1500 engine and automatic transmission, as well as disc brakes so she would be able to drive it smoothly while negotiating the hills of San Francisco.

Due to other projects for the couple, many out of town, the Antique business never happened and now, after over 20 years and many, many thousands of dollars the car is being put up for sale....

The car still looks like it came new except for the lack of a clutch pedal and has all of the charm of an original (it even sounds Morris!) with the connivance of more power, better brakes and an automatic transmission. While the paint is old it is still in reasonable shape with few chips or flaws.  The wood had been totally replaced during the English restoration and has been professionally refinished once since.

The car has been featured in a number of publications and websites. You may see a picture and read a story about the car before the Datsun automatic conversion at:
