It's a lovely Morris 1000, I know this is a bit of an old video now, but I can understand why you would have been excited! You were right about no synchromesh on 1st! I had a Morris 1000 saloon once; a 1970 model - J reg - which I also drove on a dual carriageway. I noticed you were driving at 60. I can hear the engine screaming away! I found mine was certainly best on a good level stretch of road. I remember when I found myself driving at 65 mph, and then up to 71. How long did you have it? I only had my moggy for a few months! I tried doing a double de-clutch changing down to 1st once, but I didn't manage properly.
I remember it had actually spiked in price in early 2012 for some reason. A year later it was back down below 109.9. I'm reasonably hopeful the same will happen this time around.

well done chaps, how does the insurance workout compared to a"normal" car, as i have a 68 minor for my niece. she of course wants a modern car, trying to argue the case for my moggie "Molly"
If you get a classic car insurance policy, it can actually work out pretty cheap. My quote was about £700 cheaper than it would have been to insure myself on my previous, modern car.
I would love a Morris Minor.
