Morris Minor 1000 1/4 Ton Pickup 1310cc 1958

Allmän beskrivning : Description
When you run into something this unique and affordable, your imagination starts to go into overdrive. This 1958 Morris Minor 1000 ¼ Ton Pickup has a cool, custom look on the outside, bespoke comfort on the inside, and a little extra power under the hood matched to a quick-shifting 5-speed manual transmission. So, if you're looking for a British legend that's been taken up to another level, coupled with the added utility of a pickup truck, then this custom Morris might just be the right vintage ride for you.
If you're British, then this is a pure nostalgia machine (and if you're not this is just a very cool presentation.) After all, what's more distinct than a Morris 1000 truck customized to look like a vintage streetrod version of the Chevrolet SSR? And it's not just the vintage Austin Healey racing livery on the side that you'll enjoy, because the dynamic front end and cool utility bed out back work together to form one of the coolest little trucks we've ever featured. They got the details right, mixed in with a few vintage custom pieces that really put it over the top, including a black louvered hood, fender-mounted side mirrors, an Impala front grille that was custom fitted, and a blacked-out chin splitter below the chrome bumper up front. The vivid Metallic Blue paint looks great on the uniquely shaped sheetmetal on this Morris truck, presented as a driver quality finish that still shines up great. And although there are some signs of use throughout, the contrast of the black hood and big splitter up front, along with the bright chrome in the Impala-sourced grille and front bumper, all work together to give this pickup some awesome curb appeal. All the right pieces are there – front the Morris badges up front, to the heavy-duty bed out back that includes wood slats in the center. With all these cool features complementing the classic Morris styling, this is a supercool little pickup that turns heads everywhere it goes.
While these trucks were originally built to be utilitarian pieces with rather baren interiors, this one adds comfort and a bit of flair on top of its form and function. The dual white-and-blue vinyl bucket seats make the most of the passenger space with their low-backed comfort, and the seatbelts even coordinate with the truck's chrome pieces. Even though it's a British machine, there's no reason to fret because this puppy is left-hand drive, and ahead of the driver is a new set of Equus gauges imbedded inside a beautiful white bezel. There's also a matching white bezel covering the glove compartment to the right, and the builder's left the original center-stack gauge in place, giving the blue dash a really cool look that melds new parts with old stock very cohesively. That cool steering wheel that you've probably already noticed is custom-made, and it matches the shift knob atop the shifter for the 5-speed manual. The controls are laid out nicely in the center of the dash, there's a durable rubber mat below protected with heavy-duty floor mats, and the white headliner and door panels add a touch of sophistication inside this sporty cab.
The engine bay is another place where British car fans will find something to love. Long gone is the BMC A-series 'Minor 1000' motor – aptly named for its small 948cc displacement - replaced by a spirited 1275cc MG block that's been punched and overbored to 1310cc's. Lively and powerful, it turns the lightweight pickup into an actual weekend hauler, not just a wheezing grocery getter. The 1.3-liter is larger than anything BMC ever supplied originally, and now it is also fed by a single SU carburetor setup and cooled with a large radiator up front that has an added electric fan, so you can feel confident taking it on the road. A custom driveshaft was engineered to marry the block to a Toyota 5-speed manual transmission, making this drivetrain not only incredibly fun to exercise, but its virtually bulletproof too. Shiny 15-inch VTO wheels are expensive pieces that finish off the sporty looking truck, and they're wrapped with 185/60/15 radials with plenty of grip.
It's a rarity to see a Morris Minor pickup in the USA, and this one has such an affordable price. So you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!

om Morris
Morris Motors historia sträcker sig över flera årtionden och inkluderar produktionen av olika ikoniska modeller som lämnade ett betydande avtryck på bilindustrin i Storbritannien. Från dess grundande till dess integration i British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC) spelade Morris en avgörande roll för att forma vardagsbilismen för otaliga britter.

Tidiga åren (1912-1920-talet): William Morris grundade Morris Motors Limited 1912. Företaget producerade inledningsvis prisvärda fordon, inklusive Morris Oxford och Morris Cowley, som var kända för sin tillförlitlighet och blev populära val bland arbetarklassen.
Mellankrigstiden (1930-talet): Under 1930-talet introducerade Morris betydande modeller som Morris Eight, en liten bil som blev populär på grund av sitt överkomliga pris, tillförlitlighet och användarvänlighet. Även Morris Ten väckte uppmärksamhet under denna tid.
Efter andra världskriget (1940- och 1950-talen): Efter andra världskriget introducerade Morris modeller som Morris Minor år 1948. Minor var en revolutionerande småbil med moderna funktioner och rymligt interiörutrymme, och den blev en ikon inom brittisk bilindustri.
Expansion och sammanslagning (1960-talet): Under 1960-talet var Morris en del av en serie sammanslagningar som bildade British Motor Corporation (BMC). Modeller som Morris Mini, lanserad 1959, blev en internationell sensation och ett emblem för brittisk design och ingenjörskonst.
British Leyland-eran (1970-talet): År 1968 fusionerade BMC med Leyland Motors för att bilda British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). Morris fortsatte att producera flera modeller under denna period, men märket började förlora sin individuella identitet inom det större konglomeratet.
Viktiga Morris-modeller:

Morris Oxford (1913)
Morris Cowley (1915)
Morris Eight (1935)
Morris Ten (1933)
Morris Minor (1948)
Morris Mini (1959)
Morris Marina (1971)
Morris Ital (1980)
Under sin historia producerade Morris bilar som tillgodose behoven hos genomsnittliga britter. Deras fordon var kända för att vara pålitliga, praktiska och ofta prisvärda, vilket gjorde dem vanliga på Storbritanniens vägar under många år.

Dock ställdes British Leyland inför ekonomiska svårigheter och kvalitetsproblem i slutet av 1970-talet och början av 1980-talet, vilket ledde till en försämring av Morris och andra varumärkens rykte under dess paraply. Morris-varumärket fasades så småningom ut med omorganiseringen av British Leyland, när företaget skiftade fokus och rationaliserade sina produktlinjer.

Trots sin slutliga nedgång spelade Morris en viktig roll för att forma bilkulturen i Storbritannien och lämnade ett arv med flera modeller som blev inrotade i minnet hos generationer av brittiska bilförare.
