• First registered on 1st June 1951, this early Series MM Minor 'Lowlight' represents the first generation of the model, produced in limited numbers and now firmly established as a sought-after collector’s car
• Presented in gleaming Maroon paintwork with straight panels, excellent bodywork including the underside, high quality re-trimmed upholstery (period correct in Beige with Maroon piping), a well-fitted hood, refurbished chrome and correct period appearance throughout including trafficators
• Upgraded with a later 1098cc A-Series engine in place of the original 918cc 28bhp side-valve unit, offering improved performance for modern roads, allied to a strong gearbox and well sorted running gear
• Conversion to convertible specification carried out during restoration, along with renewed upholstery, new hood, tyres and brightwork, making the car more usable and enjoyable for longer distance touring
• Fully restored and converted by marque specialists Canterbury Convertibles in the mid-1990s, with all mechanicals re-commissioned and subsequently maintained to a high standard, proving reliable and well cared for since
• Previously owned by a Morris enthusiast collector and later a well-known club member from Oxfordshire, the car was a familiar sight on the show circuit in the late 1990s
• Now a beautifully presented example that drives as well as it looks. With early Lowlight cars in strong demand and restoration costs today likely to exceed £20,000, this is an appealing and sensible entry into early Minor ownership
