ORIGINAL MORRIS MINOR by
Ray Newell
The Restorers Guide to All Saloon Tourer , Convertible, Traveller and Light Commercuial Models
Original Morris Minor
is the essential companion to these delightful cars.
Its aim is to reveal, in words and colour photographs,
how the many versions of the Minor - from early
'low-headlamp' 918cc saloon to late 1098cc traveller -
altered in detail through the course of production.
Untrained eyes may only spot whether or not a
Morris Minor has a split windscreen, but an amazing
number of specification changes, large and small,
occurred over the years
The completely
authentic specification which the most discerning
enthusiasts now demand can be elusive because so
many Minors have been altered over the years, often
by impecunious owners trying simply to keep ageing
cars on the road for minimum cost. But help is at
hand in Original Morris Minor for all owners,
restorers and enthusiasts who want a bible on
originality. Drawing from factory production records,
parts lists and catalogues, as well as the
accumulated knowledge of respected restorers and
dedicated enthusiasts, this book provides the most
exhaustive production survey of the Morris Minor
ever published.
Accompanying the authoritative
text are over 250 specially commissioned colour
photographs showing every permutation of Morris
Minor specification in remarkable detail. Painstaking
selection of cars of the highest quality and
authenticity ensures that the photographs in this book
provide a valuable reference source. All models are
covered: each of the four series (with 918cc, 803cc,
948cc and 1098cc engines) has its own chapter, the
various body styles (two/four door saloon,
tourer/convertible and traveller) are illustrated in fine
detail, and even the light commercial van and pick-up
variants have their own section.
The definitive guide to one of Britain's best-loved classic cars and is an indispensible for all owners, restorers, buyers and enthusiasts.
