Morris Minor, 1948-1971

The post-WWII version of the Morris Minor was a popular British motor car built between 1948 and 1971. Designed by Alec Issigonis (later to be famed for designing the Mini), the original Minor MM was launched at the Earls Court motor show in 1948.

There were three-generations of the car, the MM, the Series II and the 1000.

1.36 million were produced, in five main guises; saloon (2-door & 4-door), tourer (convertible), traveller (estate), van and pick-up. From 1967 the van's were also rebadged as Austins (Morris' sister company as part of the BMC group). Read more at wikipedia LinkExternal link
