Back to back – Austin or Morris Tourer?

• 

You’re either an Austin man or a Morris man, right? But Brightwells may make it hard to choose between the two. Among many others, they have a very accessible Morris Minor Tourer on offer in their Leominster sale next Wednesday. It’s a 1962 car, which comes with no MOT and at least two variations of Almond Green. But the estimate is low at £3- £4,000. Like it? Hang on. For the more adventurous BMC-fan they have another Tourer, which looks perhaps less shiny but may attract more, even alone for it is a lot less common. The Ming Blue Austin A40 Sports they will sell is of course Jensen-built in aluminium. It may look in need of a restoration; in fact it’s an oily rag at its best, with all the mechanicals and structural body and chassis parts well catered for. It’s not really cheap, estimated at £7,500 - £9,500, but we know which one we’d go for. How about you?
