Post-war Morris Minors survive in large numbers, but the passage of
time since the first models were launched in 1948 means that many
require full or partial restoration. The Morris Minor Restoration
Manual provides a wealth of information about the model range,
specifications, parts availability and the practical skills
required to complete essential tasks. Showcasing skills gained in
the restoration of a number of models, including a historically
significant Morris 1000 two-door saloon, it gives advice and
guidance on a range of specific restoration techniques, which are
illustrated and explained in detail.
A handy guidebook to all the Morris cars produced between 1948 and
1984. Morris was a prominent marque in Britain and around the world
from the outset of production in 1913. In the postwar era Morris
cars were exported throughout the world and many were assembled in
overseas plants. Many Morris models retain an enthusiastic
following today, even though the last car was produced in 1984.
Illustrated in full colour, and with detailed information including
colour schemes, optional equipment and technical specifications,
this is a complete catalogue of the cars of that era, and will be
an invaluable identification guide for anyone interested in these
classic British cars. Written by marque expert, Ray Newell, who has
had a long association with Morris Cars, been Secretary of the
Morris Minor Owners Club since 1983, and a founder member of the
Morris Vehicles Association in 2013.
Original Morris Minor is the essential companion to these
delightful cars. Its aim is to reveal, in words and color
photographs, how the many versions of the Minor - from early
'low-headlamp' 918cc saloon to late 1098cc traveler - altered in
detail through the course of production. 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 aging 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 catalogs, 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 color
photographs showing every permutation of Morris Minor specification
in remarkable detail.
The post war Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of
the most popular British Cars. 2008 will mark 60 years since the
first production models rolled off the production lines at Cowley
in Oxfordshire. In this celebratory publication Ray Newell looks in
detail at the development of the wide range of models produced
during a production run which spanned twenty two years in the UK.
Using mainly contemporary materials spanning four decades he
transports the reader back to an era when the pace of life was much
slower and the marketing of the vehicles was considerably different
to the slick advertising of today. Isogonics sketches of the
prototype cars, sales brochures, promotional materials, and rare
and unusual photographs make this a fascinating book.

The postwar Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of
the most popular British cars. 2018 marked 70 years since the first
Minors rolled off the production lines at Cowley in Oxfordshire. In
this celebratory publication Ray Newell looks in detail at the
development of the wide range of models produced during a
production run that spanned 22 years in the UK. Using mainly
contemporary materials covering four decades, he transports the
reader back to an era when the pace of life was much slower and the
marketing of the vehicles was considerably different to the slick
advertising of today. The worldwide appeal of this trendsetting
vehicle is examined in the context of the 'export or die' mentality
that dominated postwar Britain, as are the innovative production
methods used to ensure that 'Morris Motors Ltd' lived up to its
'quality first' reputation. Variations from standard specifications
are considered with reference to mechanical uprating, different
body styles and the use of modern accessories to enhance further
the comfort and styling of what was dubbed 'The World's Supreme
Small Car.' Issigonis sketches of the prototype cars, sales
brochures, promotional materials, and rare and unusual photographs
make this a fascinating book. The continuing appeal of the car
voted Britain's most popular classic in 2016 is examined, as are
the factors which continue to attract a new generation of 21st
century owners.
