MORE BEFORE AND AFTER


I recall the day Morris was delivered to Tommy's Topless Cars in Hilton Head, South Carolina.  It was a beautiful, sunny, December day.
Morris was, with the exception of a radio from a Ford, an original, low mileage car.











The interior was in good condition with what appeared to be the original upholstery.













The engine compartment was also unmolested with the exception of aftermarket heater hoses and a plastic battery box.














Following an extensive restoration, Morris is represented as one of the most beautifully restored Morris Minor 1000's known to exist.
The exterior features a near flawless body finished with single-stage urethane paint color matched to the original coating.
















The interior features seating covered in luxurious leather with accents that match the painted surfaces.  The addition of the wood rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel and wood gearshift knob represents the perfect finishing touch.
















The rear seat is so comfortable.  All we need is a chauffeur and a jar of Grey Poupon.  





















The engine compartment is fitted with a newly rebuilt 1275 cc engine and dual SU carburetors.  A great deal of attention has been given to every detail.
