1949 Morris Minor Tourer

This is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of automotive history. This 1949 Morris Minor is one of only three surviving left-hand-drive export models ever built for the U.S. market—and the only one remaining in this condition.

A Pedigree of Preservation This car is a "unicorn" for collectors, featuring iprofessionally refinished original factory maroon paint and a rust-free body, thanks to over 50 years of climate-controlled storage in Texas, Arizona, and California. The provenance is fully documented, including the original 1949 Dallas, Texas Chattel Mortgage loan documents and official certification from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust.

Expertly Engineered for the Modern Road While the body is a historical artifact, the mechanicals have been professionally upgraded to ensure this is a dependable, turn-key driver. Over $50,000 has been invested in a comprehensive restoration by specialists in Washington State, including:

Powertrain: A custom-fabricated 2.0L Ford engine paired with a C3 automatic transmission, providing roughly 3x the original horsepower for effortless highway driving. Electrical: A complete professional rewire and conversion to negative ground, with the battery relocated to the trunk and a safety cut-off switch installed. Interior: Stunning new camel upholstery with maroon piping. Recent Care: Just received a precision alignment from Omni Brake and Alignment (Totem Lake), the region's premier shop for high-end classics. This vehicle eliminates the typical risks of vintage British car ownership. You get the extreme rarity of a "1 of 3" chassis and original paint, combined with the reliability of a modern powertrain and electrical system. It is a museum-grade piece of history that is actually engineered to be driven.
