Morris Minor
The Morris Minor is a British car that made its debut at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 Sept 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, more than 1.6 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1972 in three series: the MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956), and the 1000 series (1956 to 1971). The example shown is an early Morris Minor 1000 with a split windscreen located in Sri Lanka,
Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was expanded to include a four-door saloon in 1950, a wood-framed estate car (the Traveller) from October 1953 and panel van and pick-up truck variants from May 1953. It was the first British car to sell over a million units and is considered a classic example of automotive design.
This particular example is the Morris Minor 850cc side-valve engine. The later model was the 950 cc OHV engine known as the Morris 1000.
Seen on the streets of Sri Lanka.
