Morris Minor y 1000: libros - historia y modelos (2/2)

The Morris Minor

Well over half a century after it first appeared in 1948, the Morris Minor has become a much-loved classic car. It is as popular now as when in production. During the Second World War, when Alec Issigonis and his team began to design a prototype small car for the post-war era, few could have foreseen that it would become the first British car to sell a million or that the revolutionary design features would stand the test of time so well.

This book traces the evolution of the Minor through the different phases of its development to its demise in the 1970s.

Original Morris Minor - The Restorer's Guide to All Saloon, Tourer, Convertible, Traveller and Light Commercial Models

This is the essential companion to the Morris Minor. 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. Indispensable for all owners, restorers, buyers and enthusiasts.
