Car articles about Morris Minor by year
Between 1948 and 1971, the Morris Minor was built, a small car with a modern design, constructed by Alec Issigonis. Over 1.6 million units and a large fan community confirm the quality of the design. As a saloon, convertible, estate and van/pickup, the small car shaped the street scene in England, but was also a great success on the export market. This report tells the story of the cuddly Brit, portrays the last convertible delivered to Switzerland and illustrates the development of the model with historical pictures and brochures.
It lasted until April 1971, the last Woody Wagon in automotive history. As the estate version of the first million-seller "from the island", the Traveller made a significant contribution to the success of the Morris Minor, accounting for almost a quarter of the total. But anyone who only expects it to serve as a fun Sunday classic today is underestimating the Brit. Because it is also a thoroughly practical everyday car with charming added value.
For most people, the VW Beetle is the Volkswagen par excellence, in every sense of the word. A car for the people, a people's car. And the Beetle was indeed an above-average success. But before it, Ford's Model T had already passed the 15 million mark, and in modern times the Toyota Corolla, VW Golf and Ford's F-series even managed to reach over 30 million, although they were not the only people's cars to do so. This report looks back at some selected production successes in car history and shows them in 200 pictures. A feast for the eyes!
