1961 Morris Minor 1000 | Great Bookham and Fetcham, Surrey

A 1961 Morris Minor 1000, the small British family car known for a roomy cabin, approachable handling and a friendly, rounded shape. Its curved one-piece windscreen sets the 1000 apart from the split-screen Minors before it. This car is called Bluebell, an open-top convertible with a 948cc engine. Its Clipper Blue paint, a shade used only between 1959 and 1961, is matched by a blue interior. Semaphore trafficators still work alongside flashing indicators, and seatbelts are fitted. Condition is excellent from the paint to the engine bay. It has been photographed for the Strictly Come Dancing 2026 Tour promotion and has appeared on BBC's Antiques Road Trip. With the roof down, the small upright body gives photographers and stylists clean period lines and a clear view of the people inside. That suits advertising, fashion and editorial work, and 1960s-set film and TV, where the working semaphores add detail for close shots. Weddings and personal hires suit it too. The car is based in Great Bookham and Fetcham, Surrey.
