The Minor 1000 (1956-62) was a direct descendant of the earlier Minor series II with a 948cc S4 OHV engine it had a revised front grille, a curved one piece windscreen, larger rear window, dished steering wheel, and painted 14inch wheels, flashing direction indicators replaced semaphore trafficators.

 

This car comes with add on Speedwell Engineerig cylinder head and other period tuning extras offered by Speedwell for the BMC A Series engine.

 

The (1962-71) version had a larger 1098cc S4 OHV engine boosting output to 48bhp and a top speed of 77 mph bracket. Differences were however slight a new dashboard layout with a lidded glove box on the passenger side and open cubby hole in front of the driver, and a different heater, externally the new car gained a new larger tail flasher and front side/flasher lights
