Sir Alec Issigonis' concept was to combine the luxury and
convenience of a good motor car at a price affordable by the
working classes. The Minor was a roomy vehicle with superior
cornering and handling characteristics. The Minor prototype had
been known as the Morris Mosquito. More than 1. 3 million of the
lightweight. rear-wheel drive cars were eventually produced. mainly
in Cowley. Oxfordshire. becoming Britain's first car to sell a
million units and was exported around the world. Production
continued in Birmingham until 1972 with the last Morris Minor
(commercial) was assembled at Stoke. Nelson. New Zealand in 1974.
The front torsion bar suspension was shared with the larger Morris
Oxford as was the almost-unibody construction. Although the Minor
was originally designed to accept a flat-4 engine with four
distinctive gaps in the engine bay to accommodate it. late in the
development stage it was replaced by a 918cc side-valve inline-four
engine. pretty much unchanged from the outgoing Morris 8 and
producing 27. 5hp and 39lbf ft of torque. This little engine pushed
the Minor to just 64mph but delivered 40 miles per imperial
gallon.

This stunning Morris Minor Lowlight Convertible has been the
subject to a complete ground up restoration being professionally
converted to a tourer in 2010 using parts from a derelict. original
convertible. The restoration has included a full rebuild of all the
mechanics including the engine. new brakes throughout and new
chrome work. This matching number Morris Minor is finished in mist
green with new beige interior. matching new mohair hood and
removable side screens. It is supplied with a V5C registration
document and is in showroom condition.
