Have an extra 5,495 in British Pounds Sterling? This 1960 White Morris Minor 1000 can be yours. Of course, you’ll have to pay for freight to the U.S., which I’m sure won’t be cheap. But it’s a bargain for a fully restored British classic.
Or, you can switch to a slightly more banged up version and avoid expensive international shipping with this Morris Minor located in New Hampshire and listed on eBay for $6,000 USD.
The Minor was produced in from 1950 to 1971 by the Morris Motor Company, creators of the iconic Woody Wagon.

I’m not sure what kind of car $825 would get you today, but you can be sure that it would no longer buy a Model L D. Billed as the “ideal two passenger car, equipped with magneto, top, gas lamps and generator.”
Just fantastic, don’t you think? You can read more about the 75th Anniversary Celebration here.

Florida is known for many things: beaches, sunshine, citizens who routinely drive barefoot with no shirt. But the Plant City Classic Car Show is pretty fantastic too.
This 1972 Corvette Stingray defines a muscle car.
My grandmother moved to Tampa with her family at the age of 9. She’s got great stories of riding down the highway crammed in the backseat on top of the luggage of a car just like this.
The Strawberry Classic Car Show is held the third Saturday of every month in Plant City, Florida. You can view all of the images in the set by clicking here.

There’s something about being in an MG that gives you a sense of freedom. Maybe it’s the idea that you could hit the road with only a small bag and map, and end the night in a completely different place.
