c. 1956 Morris Minor Convertible Conversion, Registration Number: KFE 507 Chassis Number: FBF11/42595Y Engine Number: 9M UH 594397 Engine capacity: 1098cc Transmission: Manual Finished in Ivory with Burgundy hood and red vinyl interior, this Minor is in good presentable order overall. The car is an older conversion from a saloon and the registration documents have been updated to show the change. Whilst registered as a 1956 car and carrying an appropriate registration number, many features suggest that the car is of a later build. The vendor purchased the car over six years ago and has had enormous fun in it in that time, even achieving a Bronze award at the local Thurlow and Haverhill Steam show in August 2003. The car started easily on inspection from cold and runs healthily. The vinyl hood is in good order and folds neatly and a hood bag is provided to tidy it nicely in the down position. MOT tested until 6th July 2006, the car is offered for sale with V5C registration document, an older V5 document and a small amount of paperwork and expired MOT test certificates.
