1954 Morris Traveller Reg - Produced: 1953 - 1956, 215328 produced.
Recently imported by Pat Harte from Manorhamilton this car is one of the few survivors from that era. In 1953 another innovative version of the Minor joined the range, an estate car known as the traveller. The traveller used a wooden frame construction for the rear bodywork, this frame was the structural section and gained the repuation for being prone to rotting away! The traveller featured split rear dors (as used on small vans) and a folding rear bench seat, which increased its carrying capacity. The traveller sold well on Series II form, but this split screen is a rare sight today. This model comes complete with smithwicks tap. This is the first outing for this car and we wish Pat many happy miles in it. Not to Bad !!
