Its a great car. A lovely early sixties with trafficators. New floors and sills first and the rest when you have the time and money. She will look great. This was 5 years ago so hope she is up and running now!
The lamp that you show at 5:20 looks more like a parking light. Up until the late 60's, all cars had to display a parking light when parked up after dark; white to front, red to rear. The type you have there were clipped on the drivers window.....nothing to do with indicators/semaphore.
When I was a little boy my family members told me that old car s price it was Impossible dream. NOW I KNOW Actually How it was really nice one In Srilanka NOW It Will Cost US Dollars 2500 Old Cars and Old People l like it Thank you VERY much. MAY YOU Leave LOng.
I speak from Portugal. My opinion is if you like this model a lot because you are not looking from the UK.....Now if you are willing to invest work, money and if gives you pleasure, go ahead but don´t count on the return.OK! Good lucky!!!!
+Chancho Chanchito Well there are a couple of colours which can be a bit confusing. However, this specific model is known as 'Birch Grey' and we've confirmed this with the VIN and V5c together with the old Buff logbook we have for this one, but similar shades are also out there which look very much the same such as 'Almond Green', 'Smoke Grey' and even 'Olive Green' although that in my opinion is very much darker than this shade. When checking your colour, use your VIN details from the bulkhead or if unsure, check with the Morris Minor Register through the club. Best of luck with yours and keep checking back as we have a few more videos to add just not had a chance yet!
Looking for a buyer for my partner's MORRIS /MINOR/MAJOR,NOT SURE WHICH ONE, he is in HOSPICE he is 53 life about to end he would love it to go to someone who feels the same LOVE for the car,please. Jo🐞
+John Derry Yes John, we'll be taking plenty of video and pictures of this little project as we progress. Coming very soon is the video of it in the workshop being stripped back for thorough investigation! Check back soon to see it or follow the facebook page too! facebook.com/morrisminor10001958
Painful to watch as I have covered a lot miles in a Morris Minor and enjoyed every minute and during that period we were putting rubbish on the Japanese cars, but the ball has changed and I am happy to drive a Mazda...sri

Good to see you are committed. Thumbs up.

Its going to take some work and money, but it will be worth it in the end.

Can the body shell be removed from the chassis, or is it a welded unitary construction?
Unibody construction....but pretty simple
In the states we call a non show car a daily driver or grocery getter good job
So what happened?...
5 years ago....no more videos since
I bought a moggy in 1983 for £50 (920 dpo) a 62 car as I recall,got reported for no tax BUT I GOT MY PAYBACK!!
The one I'm planning on buying is the same colour, but I don't know what the colour is actually called? Any ideas? I can't wait to see this restored!

+eppingmotors brilliant, look forward to seeing the process! Thanks
The ash try looks good...
What does buy blind mean?
He bought it without seeing it in person I presume
I know some of that brought one in that condition, spend 1000s on and finished and looks amazing but he hates it. He needs to just sell it.
So just looking at it not restoring it.

Handheld mobile phone camera jiggling around = seasick. Can't watch.
Lesson never buy blind
Too much travel on your camera do you fake people
