I've never liked Minors but if this one has never been resprayed then it does look remarkable.

The seller comments on it running rich but perhaps that's not too surprising given the angle that the float chamber is at!

I am not keen on Minors but I think there is something about the early ones, they have some character. My friend has an early split screen Minor that he is trying to sell, he has owned it for many years but doesn't know its value as hes not really into classic cars, his farm takes up all of his time.

Very nice, I like the split window MMs although I'm the first to admit that the doors and so on, sound tinny when you shut them. I think I'm used to old Volvos, in this respect.
