Description
One of the country's best-loved cars, the Morris Minor was the first British car to sell more than a million. In its long life, stretching from 1948 to 1972, countless different versions were made — not least the ash-framed Traveller, which was the world's last 'woodie' station wagon. Engineered by Alec Issigonis, the eccentric genius who went on to create the Mini, the Morris Minor was cleverly designed to have maximum interior space for its modest size, and to have high standards of roadholding and handling.
Morris Minor - The Official Photo Album tells the story of the Minor through a carefully chosen selection of photos from the Morris and BMC archives, held by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. Written by a leading authority on the British motor industry, the evocative photos are accompanied by detailed commentary on the many Minor variants — including fascinating fresh information unearthed by the author.
