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 with export around the world. Production continued in
Birmingham until 1972 with the last Morris Minor (commercial) being
assembled at Stoke. Nelson. New Zealand in 1974. Although the Minor
was originally designed to accept a flat-four 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 series II Morris Minor four-door Saloon is a matching
numbers car in very original condition throughout. Reported by the
