Information

The Morris Minor was launched at the first post-war British Motor Show which was held at London's Earl Court in October 1948. With various updates and a change of engine in 1952 it remained in production as a saloon until November 1970 and in Light Commercial Vehicle form until April 1971. The car modelled was built on August 25th, 1970, making it one of the last produced, and was despatched to Wadham Stringer Limited, Reigate, Surrey, a well-known Morris distributor. Current owner Sharon McCallum bought Molly, as the car has long been called, by accident in August in 2014 after going to view it in Hailsham for a friend who later changed their mind.

Devon-based Sharon is a life-long Minor enthusiast who'd wanted one since travelling in her Great Uncle Fred's Almond Green example, which was the first car she travelled in as a child and was later purchased by her brother. Molly joined her Trafalgar Blue saloon, (Hamilton) and the Damask Red van (Harvey Major), she uses for her Trombone repair business. Sharon met husband Dennis Saupe while on a 'Minors on Tour UK' event in 2016 and a year later the couple embarked on a month long 3500-mile touring holiday from Land's End to John O'Groats in Molly, which included many sightseeing diversions and a stop at Gretna Green to get married. Molly never missed a beat and is much loved as a result.
