Classic British Car - Morris Minor 

Engine sizes were 803 cc (1948-52), 918 cc (1952-56), 948 cc (1956-62) and 1098 (1962-71). The noise you can hear are trains running above the workshop, which was located underneath the railway arches. I think this company moved to Chorlton and became Minor Millenium

I have owned many of these cars growing up in NZ.

My favourite car

I can't criticise anyone for having a passion for these old Morris Minor's But for me as a child in the 60's I hated the look of them, and I still don't like them now. I especially disliked the "Woody Wagon" as the Americans used to call theirs back in the 40's and 50's That's the Traveller with the wooden sides. I suppose, as they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" As I said earlier, I have to admire your enthusiasm for these old cars though.

The original Minor did not have a 998cc engine as claimed. The early cars had an 803cc engine. This was upgraded to 998 when the car became the Morris Minor 1000 and uprated again to to 1098cc . Although the 1098cc was the most powerful of the engines, the 998cc was the smoothest.

If you look at the very first Minor as it came off the designing board, the headlights were down to the right and left of the grill, just above the bumper. In my opinion, that was an unfortunate ugly "face" to give a car. I heard in one RU-vid video that the Canadians required the headlights to be mounted higher on the car in order for it to be exported to Canada. Thank you, Canada! We can thank Canada for the adorable appearance of the Morris Minor.

Can it be launched in Pakistan again?Why it stopped in Pakistan?I really want to see my countrymen get rid of Suzuki & Toyota.They are the real thugs looting poor economy of my beloved country Pakistan.

Ugly and over-rated things, although the engines were good. I worked on them in a dealers. Horrible 1940's styling. The bulbous bonnets were meant to suggest a big powerful engine underneath - ironic in the case of the Minor! The front suspensions often collapsed in the road without warning.

Spoilt by dreadful audio. :-(
