1962 Morris Mini Traveller
Rare and Historic Collectors Estate - $29,950
This is a rare 1962 Mk1 3-door estate version (wood trim delete) of the original Mini designed by Sir Alex Issigonis. The design that was released in the UK in 1960, with twin side-hinged "barn style" rear doors, the original 34hp 848 cc A-series four-cylinder petrol engine and 4-speed manual gearbox.
She has sliding side windows with fold-up locking tabs to maximize door pocket storage, central elliptical instrument cluster, and a fold-down rear seat.
Naturally she has her British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified factory record showing Body number: 23997, Chassis: M-AW4/266033, Engine: 8AM-U-H/353219, Colour: Tartan Red with Grey and Red trim, Date of Build: 25 June 1962.
Most interestingly she was built in RHD as a ‘personal export delivery’ vehicle and was never registered in the UK, rather ending up in California, USA. Her ownership trail shows that her last US owner was Lesley Coogan Tone, who famously is the daughter of Pascal Tone and Sandra Coogan and granddaughter of the Oscar nominated actors Franchot Tone and Jean Wallace. My son purchased the car from Lesley in 2012 while living in California, which is certified on the State of California Certificate of Title. He had it shipped back to Australia and registered it in NSW in 2014 since which time it has remained unused and on display.
This 64 year old traveller is in excellent condition for its age with a beautiful straight and rust free body having been fully resprayed. Just recently her entire braking system was replaced with new cylinders, drums and linings along with new shock absorbers and suspension bushes. She can easily be registered under the Historic Registration scheme in all states.
