How many Morris 1300s are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 38,957 on the road Built 1968-1975 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
From 1967 the BMC 1100 could be had with a 1275 cc engine, and this is that car: the same Issigonis front-wheel-drive saloon with Hydrolastic suspension, but with enough power to keep up with newer rivals. The twin-carburettor 1300 GT was the sporty one. In Britain the Morris version gave way to the Marina in the early 1970s.
