The Minor was manufactured from 1948 to 1972; models had a split windscreen until 1956, and semaphore pattern indicators were replaced in 1961. An estate version featured an external structural ash (wood) frame for the rear bodywork, with two side-hinged rear doors, and in common with Morris practice was named "Traveller".
