Arguably the fondest-regarded of Britain's post-war saloons, the Alec Issigonis-designed Morris Minor was launched at the 1948 Motor Show.
The first post-war Morris design, the unitary-construction Minor boasted torsion bar independent front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and a four-speed synchromesh gearbox.
Powered initially by the company's existing 918cc sidevalve four, the Minor received a more efficient 803cc overhead-valve engine in 1953.
Two two-door models were offered initially: a saloon and a convertible.
A four-door saloon was introduced in 1950, estates and commercials following later.
In 1956 the 'Minor 1000' with 948cc A-Series engine appeared and the model received a further capacity boost (to 1,098cc) in 1962.
By 1961 the Minor had achieved its millionth sale and the model continued in production for a further ten years.
This first-series (MM) Minor saloon was first registered on 29th November 1950 to a Miss Vera Read, of Stockton near Beccles, Norfolk.
