Launched in 1948, the Morris Minor was an exciting and fresh concept, with radical engineering and daring \u201cAmerican\u201d styling. The Morris Minor was also the work of a young engineer named Alec Issigonis and his first chance to head up a design team. He would become most famous for the Mini ten years later. The Morris Minor was manufactured for 23 years and some 1.6 million would be made before production ended in 1972. Author Gillian Bardsley tells the story of this very British and versatile car, which was sold as an estate car, a convertible and a van, and used in motor racing and rallying that today is still much loved retaining its popularity as a classic, with many clubs devoted to keeping it on the road.
