Description
Lot #930 - The "Moggy Truck", as they became affectionately known in their homeland, was the work of Alec Lissigonis, who would go on to design the Mini. The engine is a 4-cylinder, Inline overhead valve, 948cc rated at 37hp with a 4-speed transmission. This left-hand drive Morris was sold new in Longview, Washington. It was purchased in 1994 from the original owner by Jim Smalley of Silverdale, Washington, who drove it as a fun weekend toy. He then sold it to Ken McBride of Seattle, Washington, in 2004. Mr. McBride did a total restoration on this truck to use for promotion in his business, hence the modern wheels and tires. In 2007, Mr. McBride sold a package of cars from his extensive collection to the current vendor. Great history and a very expensive restoration make for a show ready, excellent driving Morris Minor 1/4 Ton truck.
