Morris Minor Traveller LHD Series V Highly original example! Partly first paint! 1970
General description :
The Morris Minor was designed as a cheap and small family car and was in production between 1948 and 1971. Saying the Minor became a success is an understatement. No less than 1,532,223 examples were produced during the 23 years it was in production. There were 204,279 Traveler versions made. Our "Woody" was delivered from new in Germany in 1970 and served on an English army base. Understandably it is therefore an original Left Hand drive example. This series V is one of the last ones produced. Unique is the fact that the majority of the paintwork (deep bronze green) is still original "factory-off " and remains in good condition given its age. (Only the front has been repainted due to stone chips) Equipped with a 1098 cc 4 cylinder engine manual 4-speed gearbox producing 50 Hp. In total, this Morris has covered 141,000 km during its life. The Minor has been registered in the Netherlands since 1977 with only 2 owners up to now. Saying these owners loved the car can be confirmed given the current state of the car. One can easily guess the love lavished on this car by its owners by the current great condition the car is in. Equally impressive is the amount of documentation that comes with the car. The original instruction booklet, registration papers and various bills complete the whole picture. This is what you call ‘a true survivor’!

About Morris
The history of Morris Motors spans several decades and includes the production of various iconic models that left a significant mark on the automotive industry in Britain. From its inception to its eventual integration into the British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC), Morris played a crucial role in shaping the everyday motoring experiences of countless Britons.Founding Years (1912-1920s): William Morris established Morris Motors Limited in 1912. The company initially produced affordable vehicles, including the Morris Oxford and Morris Cowley, which were known for their reliability and became popular choices among the working class.
Interwar Period (1930s): The 1930s saw Morris introducing significant models like the Morris Eight, a small car that became widely popular due to its affordability, reliability, and ease of use. The Morris Ten also gained attention during this era.
Post-World War II (1940s-1950s): After World War II, Morris introduced models like the Morris Minor in 1948. The Minor was a revolutionary small car with modern features, spacious interiors, and became a British motoring icon.
Expansion and Merger (1960s): During the 1960s, Morris was part of a series of mergers that formed the British Motor Corporation (BMC). Models like the Morris Mini, launched in 1959, became an international sensation and an emblem of British design and engineering.
British Leyland Era (1970s): In 1968, BMC merged with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). Morris continued to produce several models during this period, but the brand began to lose its individual identity within the larger conglomerate.
Important Morris Models:
Morris Oxford (1913)
Morris Cowley (1915)
Morris Eight (1935)
Morris Ten (1933)
Morris Minor (1948)
Morris Mini (1959)
Morris Marina (1971)
Morris Ital (1980)
Throughout its history, Morris produced cars that catered to the needs of the average Briton. Their vehicles were known for being reliable, practical, and often affordable, making them a common sight on British roads for many years.
However, by the late 1970s and early 1980s, British Leyland faced financial difficulties and issues with quality control, leading to a decline in the reputation of Morris and other brands under its umbrella. The Morris brand eventually phased out with the reorganization of British Leyland, as the company shifted focus and streamlined its product lines.
Despite its eventual decline, Morris played a vital role in shaping the motoring landscape in Britain and left a legacy with several models that became ingrained in the memories of generations of British motorists.
