Morris 8 4 door saloon '38-'48 |
|||||||||
|
Morris bounced back after WWII with its best selling Eight. A 2 or
4 door saloon in a pre-war design with a faithful old 29bhp 918cc flathead
engine. Plus points for the time were a four speed box and hydraulic brakes! Production 120, 434 |
|||||||||
|
Morris Minor Series II 4 Door Saloon '52 -'56 (Dark shading) (Print available as 2 or 4 door + Traveller) Spit windscreen Minor. Improvement on the earlier series I. 803cc.... so more speed! |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
|
Morris 1000 2 Door Saloon '56 -'71 (Light shading) |
|||||||||
|
948 cc...
1098cc from 1962 onwards and a possible 70 mph now! A development of the popular split windscreen Minor designed by Issigonis; together they sold well over a million to become a BMC legend! |

Morris 1000 4 Door Saloon |
|||||||||
|
Here's the 4 door version... but the list of things the model turned into was endless. |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
| All Morris prints available in both light or dark shading. | |||||||||
|
Morris 1000 Traveller '56-'71 |
|||||||||
|
A pretty aluminium panelled wood clad estate with van type doors. The wood is structural so needs plenty of attention to stop it rotting believe me... I know.... I've had one! Wonderful traffic semaphores before '62 |
|||||||||
|
Morris 1000 Convertible '56 - '69 |
|||||||||
|
True open-air motoring for the ordinary man in the street. As an art student we trashed one in the late 60's.... sorry! Highly collectable today! |
|||||||||
|
Morris 1000 Van They all had them; GPO, Royal Mail, AA, Police, Alf the Greengrocer, the list went on.... |
|||||||||
|
Morris 1000 Pick-up |
|||||||||
| ...even Bob the Builder had a pick-up truck! | |||||||||

|
Morris Mini mk1 |
|||||||||
|
The BMC all time classic! Marketed under Austin as the Seven & Morris as the Mini-Minor in 1959 with a transverse engine, rubber suspension and a sump mounted 4 speed box.... another Issigonis design that revolutionised car design overnight! One could fill pages writing about it. If you've never driven one, you'll not know what all the fuss is about... just make sure you drive one before you die! Bad points.... YES.... they rust! |

Morris Mini Traveller |

|
Morris Mini Van Deluxe |
|||||||||
|
Successor to the Morris 1000 van... again used by every Tom, Dick and Harry |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
Morris 1100/1300 |
|||||||||
|
Another best seller for BMC from the pen of designer Alex Issigonis. A 'grown up' Mini and a great drive too; alas they rotted in front of your eyes.... few remain! |
