📚 Vehicle History
Brand Heritage
Manufacturer:
Morris Motors (later part of British Motor Corporation - BMC, then British Leyland).
Company History:
Morris Motors was a cornerstone of the British motor industry, known for producing practical and affordable vehicles. The Morris Minor was one of its most iconic and enduring models.
Model Evolution
Original Release:
The Morris Minor was originally designed by Alec Issigonis and launched in 1948. It evolved through several iterations (MM, Series II, Mk V) before the '1000' models that are often associated with later series designations.
Series 11 Context:
The 'Series 11' designation is not a formally recognized BMC nomenclature for the Morris Minor in the same way as Mk I, Mk II, or Mk V. It likely refers to a specific manual covering the later '1000' models (Series IV, Mk V and post-production updates) up to the end of production in 1971. These later models predominantly featured the 1098cc engine.
Production
Production Period:
1948 – 1971
Production Variants:
Two-door saloon, four-door saloon, convertible (Tourer), Traveller (estate car with wooden frame), van, and pickup truck.
Production Numbers:
Over 1.6 million units produced, making it one of Britain's most successful car models.
