Morris Minor

The Morris Minor, introduced in 1948 by the British automaker Morris Motors, quickly became one of the most iconic and beloved cars in the UK. Designed by Alec Issigonis (who later created the Mini), the Minor was innovative for its time, offering excellent handling and practical design in a compact package. Over its production span until 1971, the Minor evolved through several model types: the Minor MM (1948–1953), featuring a side-valve engine; the Minor Series II (1952–1956), which introduced the overhead-valve A-series engine; and the Minor 1000 (1956–1971), which offered improved performance and modernized features.
