The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of Britain’s most popular cars, and 2008 will mark 60 years since the first production models rolled off the production lines at Cowley in Oxfordshire. In this celebratory publication, Ray Newell looks in detail at the development of the wide range of models produced during a production run which spanned twenty two years in the UK. Using mainly contemporary materials covering four decades, he transports the reader to an era when the pace of life was much slower and the marketing of vehicles considerably different to the slick advertising of today. Issigonis’ sketches of the prototype cars, sales brochures, promotional materials, and rare and unusual photographs make this a fascinating story.

Written by a leading expert and supported by the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, this is an essential book for every Minor owner and for every enthusiast of the lovable little Morris.

William Morris was Britain’s most prominent industrialist of the inter-war years. At one stage his famous ’Bullnose’ Morris, made in his ever-expanding works in the Oxford suburb of Cowley, took 41 per cent of the British market - a figure no other domestic manufacturer has ever achieved. The first Morris car was built in 1913 and the last in 1984. The story of the rise and fall of the business is a fascinating one, encompassing two world wars, commercial success at home and embarrassing failure abroad, and countless models that found a special place in the heart of the British motorist. This book examines anew the career of the modest but dynamic Morris and tells in detail the story of all the cars carrying his name.
