CARDIFF CLASSICS PRESENTS THIS ONE OF A KIND MORRIS-MINOR WOODY TRAVELLER, FULLY RESTORED WITH MANY UPGRADES. 
This 1955 Morris Minor Traveller is a split windscreen example that is said to have been used as a delivery vehicle at the Pelican Inn of Muir Beach, California. After being sold in the early 2000s, it was fitted with a 1.3L MG engine and underwent a repaint, an interior re-trim, and installation of custom wood bodywork as part of a multi-year refurbishment.
