Morris Minor Million Edition

The Million Edition marked the Morris Minor becoming the first British car to pass one million units built. Just 350 were made in 1961, one for every BMC dealer, all finished in a lilac unique to the run with special badging and trim. This is number 179 of the 350, and the page says around 60 survive.

It was restored by the Morris Minor Centre in Bristol in 2017 and is described as matching numbers and on its original registration. The interior has been refurbished to the original specification of white leather with black piping, and the 1000000 badging and chrome wheel embellishers are retained. It shows 52,873 miles.

Work since the restoration includes a full brake overhaul with new master and wheel cylinders, a gearbox rebuild by Hardy Engineering in 2024, a new fuel pump, a carburettor rebuild and a new old stock dynamo. The trafficators are working.
