Listings appear newest at the top, oldest at the bottom of the page.

Frequently I'm asked to estimate the value of a car, either by someone wanting to sell their car or a buyer interested in a particular car they have seen. The seller usually is concerned they might undervalue their car and the buyer is usually concerned that the owner is expecting too much on sentimental grounds.

I usually base my estimates on information from "The Red Book" website which lists current market values for all cars sold in Australia and is updated on a monthly basis. www.redbook.com.au

Note that low mileage original cars and fully restored cars are worth more, but are only worth what someone will pay for them. Just because a model is rare does not automatically make it more valuable - often the reverse because enthusiasts of them are even rarer!

As a rough guide the following values can be expected.

Model	Market Value
Morris 1100	$ 900 - $2,000
Morris 1300/1500/Nomad	$ 800 - $1,900
Morris Major	$1,000 - $2,300
Morris Minor 1000	$1,300 - $2,900
Morris Mini K 1100	$1,000 - $2,300
Morris Marina	$ 600 - $1,500
Austin 1800	$ 700 - $1,800
Austin Tasman X6	$ 900 - $2,000
Austin Kimberley X6	$ 1,300 - $2,800

Interestingly, between 2006 and 2009 the values of most of the above increased slightly except for the Morris Minor, Mini and Austin 1800.

Another reason for differing demand/popularity is the availability of parts. In Australia, Morris 1100s and Austin 1800s share their respective engines (and therefore many mechanical parts and expertise) with the Mini and the MGB respectively, whereas Marinas and the 1500/Nomad have no counterpart with a cult following to provide demand for E-series engine parts.

JUNE 09 1966 Morris 1100 Deluxe.

Its a ceramic green 4 speed 66 model (YMGS1 36368), with as far as I know, 66,000 original miles.

I've recently spent quite a bit of money on it and have receipts for the following:front & rear L/H suspension, new front brake pads, rear brake shoes, machined brake drums, new points & condenser, air filter, speedo cable.

Last time I drove it, it was in perfect working order, until the bypass hose for the water pump went. While it was out of action with this problem the suspension fluid on the left hand side settled after recent repairs and dropped a bit - just needs to be pumped up as the bags have just been replaced, although its not drivable at the moment, minimal repairs would get it back on the road - last registered Aug 08.

The interior is good, the last owner had the vinyl replaced on the front seat, its a good match in colour but has a small tear down one of the seams. The car is rust free apart from some superficial spots from being parked outside. The rear passenger side door has always had a few bubbles in the paintwork, this has recently gotten a bit worse and turned into big flakes, other than this the paintwork is quite good.

Comes with workshop manual and original books. $2350.

MAR 09 1969 Austin 1800 Mk2, complete, running, but unregistered. SOLD JULY 2009

Portifino Gold (that's what they called it, but it's more like orange!) with a Parchment interior (and that is like an off white).

Body work is quite good, a little rust in the bottom of the doors, and a ding on the top of the boot next to the C pillar where someone tried to chuck a brick through the rear window and missed.

Just replaced the clutch plate and release bearing (this requires engine removal and wasn't fun!) and will probably bleed the brakes shortly as they are spongy and take too close to the floor for a nervous driver...

Last registered May 2007 in Victoria, Body YHS56019

Located in Cranbourne, Victoria. $750.

MAY 09 1971 Morris 1500. SOLD May 2009

The car is a 1971 Morris 1500, with a 5 speed gearbox, twin carbys and extractors.

Asking price: $3000.

JAN 09 1972 Austin Kimberley MkII Automatic SOLD FEB 2009

I need to find a good home for this car as I'm moving and can't take it with me.

It was last registered in NSW in 2003 but was taken off the road when its transmission failed about 18 months after being reconditioned. Apart from this, the car was running fine. It has covered 90,829 miles (original) and its body number of YBS6 - 3721 suggests it to be amongst the last to be built. Paint colour is believed to be Camino Gold.

It comes with some spare parts: 2 hubcaps, 2 doors, packet of 4 disc brake pads, workshop manual and 2 old radiators.
