Description

By: Ray Newell .

The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis and introduced in 1948, is one of Britain's most famous and long-lived cars. Over sixty years on it still attracts interest from new admirers, enthusiastic owners, and the public at large, who still have a nostalgic affection for a vehicle that was an important part of British life in the 1950s and 1960s. Whether used by the district nurse, local vicar, grocer, travelling salesman, postman, or the next door neighbour, the Morris Minor provided versatility and reliability for them all. Sold in North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India, in 1960 the millionth car rolled off the production line but the car's run still had over ten years to go.

Through informative text, photographs, and contemporary advertising, the author reflects on the success of the Minor range, its design, promotion, and use.

Since 1983 Ray Newell has been the Secretary of the Morris Minor Owners Club, has written extensively in motoring journals, and produced eight books on the Morris Minor. His collection includes a rare 1949 Series MM Tourer, and a recently restored 1954 Series II van.
