MORRIS MINOR TRAVELLER

Oh yes, if you attach some timber framing and a set of barn doors, while making sure there is no dry rot or woodworm, the humble Morrie Minor quickly becomes a desirable and quite costly collectible. Shannon’s Auctions late last year sold a very presentable example for more than $25k and vendors in New Zealand – where Travellers once existed in droves – have recently but unsuccessfully sought NZ$40-50,000 for a 1959 model. This one from 34 years ago looks in fine fettle and hopefully might have stayed in Canberra where the climate is kind to older vehicles.
