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.
This split screen Morris Minor was manufactured as a two-door
saloon and was the subject of a complete restoration and conversion
to a convertible in the late 1990's by leading Morris Minor
specialists Ivyleaf Morris Restorations of Devon. Finished in the
original colour of black with black roof and light blue
interior. this 1956 Morris Minor is supplied with a V5C
registration and a file containing photographs of the restoration.
With its simplicity. reliability and ease of repair due to parts
being readily available. the Morris Minor is the perfect entry to
classic car ownership and this car. especially being a convertible. br/>ticks all the right boxes.
