Description
The Morris Minor: A Revolutionary Car for Britain's Roads. In 1948, Morris Motors launched the Morris Minor, a groundbreaking car that combined radical engineering with daring American styling. Alec Issigonis, a young engineer given his first chance to lead a design team, played a key role in its development. The Morris Minor was manufactured for 23 years, producing over 1.6 million units before production ended in 1972. Behind the Minor's success lay a fierce battle to get it into production, with opposition from the company's founder and chairman, Lord Nuffield. Despite this, the car proved versatile, available as an estate car, convertible, and van, and was used in motor racing and rallying. Today, many clubs dedicated to preserving the Morris Minor continue to keep it on the road. This book, part of the Britain's Heritage series, uses period illustrations from the BMC archive to tell the story of this iconic British car.
