The original Minor - or 'poached egg' as Lord Nuffield delightfully called it - initially complete with side-valve engine, was a sedate performer. Equipped with independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and four-wheel drum brakes, the Morris Minor was practical, economical as well as fun. Convertible (Tourer) models were dropped in June 1969, and saloon production ended in November 1970, but Travellers soldiered on until April 1971. More information to follow.
