Unveiled in 1948, many Morris Minors are still seen motoring down the United Kingdoms lanes and byways, either in the role of longtime personal transport or lovingly doted-upon classic. The author illustrates the story behind the design and development of this extraordinary British classic with more than 180 black-and-white photographs and an eight-page color spread.
Ray Newell is a well known and respected figure within Morris Minor circles. He has been Secretary of the UK based Morris Minor Owners Club since 1983 and has contributed significantly to the Club’s growth and development in that time. He has written extensively about the Morris Minor, but of the eight books he has written, this is the most detailed and comprehensive. Ray has owned a variety of Morris Minors over the years but currently his pride and joy is a rare 1949 Series MM Tourer. He has recently acquired an equally rare 1954 Series II van from New Zealand, which is currently undergoing a full restoration. Ray lives in Derbyshire, England.
