Morris Mini-Traveller

The Morris Mini-Traveller was launched in the public arena in autumn 1960. This was an estate version with windows of the Morris Mini-Minor four-seater small car that had been launched in 1959.

 

When I was 18 years old, I had a boyfriend who drove a Morris Mini-Traveller. He took me to his local pub and put a 10p piece in the pub’s fruit machine. He somehow managed to win the jackpot but the machine only paid out in tokens which had to be spent in the pub. It was almost 10pm so boyfriend recommended I tried a triple vodka + grapefruit juice. With one token left, he put it in the fruit machine and won again! It was a race to consume another 2 drinks before the pub called time! I was not a well bunny and he was too frightened to take me home as I was almost green in colour! I have never touched vodka since.
