![]() The seller states that a Samurai chassis, axles, and engine/transmission, utilizing the Suzuki 1.6 liter, four-cylinder engine, has served as the underpinnings and powertrain for this 4X4. ![]() The shade of green chosen is perfect (yes, I like green) and the five-slot wheels, reminiscent of a Chevrolet rally-wheel, cap off the exterior perfectly. Nevertheless, this diminutive off-roader presents a cool, rugged persona. The bodywork appears to have been expertly facilitated though there is a problem with failing clearcoat and lifting skim filler. The seller does not state which body style was the source for this conversion but he does state that the cargo bed was custom made. I think what I found most intriguing about his wagon was the fact that genuine wood trim was still being used by Morris long after domestic brands had abandoned any use of the cellulose-based material. I have a friend that had a ’66 wagon for a number of years and I marveled at the quality of the woodwork. Total output reached 1.3 M copies with body styles available in two and four-door sedans, a convertible, and a two-door station wagon. The Morris Minor was a storied British automobile model, produced between the years of 19. This “hybrid” is located in Bend, Oregon and is available, here on craigslist for $12,500. What happens when you combine a Morris Minor with a Suzuki Samurai? Ta-Da, this! The seller refers to it this way, “ Suzuki reliability with ’60s English car charm!” You have to appreciate the sense of automotive imagination that could create the likes of a Japanese powered, vintage British 4X4.
