Drew Buys Morris Minor Traveller From A Multi-Millionaire | Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars 

Faux wicker stuck on the side panels, low profiles....."I just want to make it that bit more funkier". Jeez....that Drew guy really does my head in.

How to spoil a perfectly good Morris Minor. Tasteless.

This is why classics are so unobtainable by people who would actually drive and enjoy them.Horders!!

That car's has been for sale recently around £8k. Cheap for what it is but no-one was biting all that quick. Roof was terrible - 'patina' indeed. And how do you fix a panel with paint like that? Spoke to a dealer who said that Drew was prompted what to say by TV director on his other antiques show and that they would make up the full price after filming the 'bargain' they made with him on camera. Sounds like many of the deals negotiated on these sort of shows are fake.

Wicker effect?? Don't fcuk with a classic! Keep it original! (Trust Uncle Rog! x!)

I used to own that car and I remember taking the head off the engine at least twice and decoking it. I also remember, about 1975, taking it up from the London area to the Lake District, with some school friends, and having thirteen breakdowns on the way, until I pinpointed the ignition fault to a loose rivet on the coil. I also remember the starting handle slipped once and punctured the bottom of the radiator with one of its lugs. As there was no temp. gauge on it, the first I knew about losing the coolant was when the head gasket blew. That was one of the occasions that I had the head off. I soldered the hole up in the radiator bottom rail and it went on for years after that. I wonder if its still got that radiator with the solder on the base?

When I was a kid... Morris Minor was my dream car. It still is.

A friend bought one of these as his first car back in 1973. It was a 1958 model with I think an 850 cc engine. We had a great time fixing it up and driving it around. It was not in anywhere as good of shape as yours. He paid $10 for his.

I love the 4 door and the Traveller best but any Moggie is a favorite of mine .

Yeah single lane roads tend to have a much more pleasant relaxing appeal to them especially out of rush hour, many run parallel to motorways, even though the journey takes longer often you arrive more relaxed.

What a crazy idea. It just eliminates a vast proportion of potential buyers.

In a crowded market place of rusty Morris ..nice bodywork stands out.

My ganddad bought his morrie brand new he whent from a ford V8 to a morrie , awsome, he paid 700£ in new zealand and had to wait 6 mounths for delivery, people in Amberly nort canterbury used to set their watches when they saw grandddad driving home from tne boweling club for lunch, great little car and he loved it so much , the family hhas many stories and home movies of nanna who never learnt to drive and granddad in this car, my father was also the youngest person to get a drivers licence (12yrs)in N Z in this car, story for another time, the car is still around and on its original registration driving the streets of christchurch.

Designed by engineers as I understand. Maybe that's why they lasted so well.

Morris Minors are much better than Minis in my opinion. Also they can be used as everyday cars.

“Pat-tin-a”? No, it’s “pa-teen-a”

Drew must be sitting on a booster seat

my first car light blue traveller

Wicker !?! 1275,ford 5 speed, diff, discs and van wheels done.

They lost me when they put the wicker paint treatment on the side doors. Why?

I personally do not like this feller

I wish they made a programme showing all the car owners who have sent drew packing after the insulting offers he makes....

I wouldn't touch it, other than to fix any obvious issues. It's perfect the way it is. I'm sure it will be much loved and well looked after by someone who'll pay a good price for authenticity. As for dolling it up and making it appeal to a younger buyer, I don't get the reasoning of that at all. This is hardly a young person's car. To them, a Mini is cool, but a Minor is not really, is it? It's still lovely though.

buy a picasso then scrawl graffiti all over it

Please leave it as it is! just restore what needs restoring, not modifying

I would have thought Drew would leave it all original!

stick with normal antiques :) funny i agree keep it stock …dont mess it up with wicker , man

Who gives a fuck what drew buys 🤷‍♂️

Bellissima 🙌👍😁💝💝

The ''we have to keep it original'' man adds a stupid looking fake wicker paint job, wider wheels, aftermarket steering wheel and lowered the front suspension (which looked wrong) and yet if Paul had suggested those mods drew would have thrown a wobbler.....

It's my destiny

MA SII,... ANCHE IO IN GARAGE HO UNA COLLEZIONE SIMILE ...A!A!A!..….NATURALMENTE STO SCHERZANDO 😜😜😜😀😀😀😀

Wow! Just WOW!

Bucking the trend hate the morris minor and proven "fake" negotiation

Is that speedo original? It's obviously a Smiths instrument as was used, but I've only ever seen the ones with the ivory coloured faces fitted in Minors, not the black faced one seen here.

So sad to see when there are people sleeping on the streets

*Usually rotten as a Pear, at that price a loss ahead predicted*

How silly--how to ruin a car in one easy lesson--let a fool loose on it! QED

Why not just keep it ffs.

Drew should stick to furniture

Total bullshit.

First

Have you seen the state of it now.bad restoration it looks hanging.it's up for sa!le on market place for £5000 .

Low profile tyres ??
