He was responsible for the brand's two most successful models: the 1948 Minor and the 1959 Mini. Although conceived as early as 1941, the Minor was not released until 1948 due to the Second World War. This model had several variants, including the Tourer and the Traveller, the station wagon version introduced in 1952. Produced between 1948 and 1971, the Minor underwent numerous improvements. The 1971 version had a BMC in-line 4-cylinder engine of 1,098 cm3, 48 hp at 5,100 rpm, enabling the Minor's top speed to rise to 124 km/h, offering a more pleasant ride than previous versions. As the Traveller was one of the model's best-sellers, it remained in production for another year, until 1972. The example we are offering for sale is one of the last to have been owned for many years by an English family living in France. Regularly maintained, this car is in beautiful mechanical and aesthetic condition. 1971 MORRIS MINOR TRAVELLER Serial number : MAW5D1286795F English registration To be cleared through customs Alec Issigonis joined Morris in 1936.
