Description: Publisher`s Notes:
The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of Britain`s most popular cars, and 2008 marks 60 years since the first production models rolled off the production lines at Cowley in Oxfordshire. In this celebratory publication, Minor expert and author 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 covering four decades, he transports the reader to an era when the pace of life was much slower and the marketing of vehicles considerably different to the slick advertising of today. Issigonis` sketches of the prototype cars, sales brochures, promotional materials, and rare and unusual photographs make this a fascinating story.
