The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was first produced in 1948, with manufacture spanning 23 years until 1971. In this time there were several variations, with the best known, the Morris Minor 1000 (with its 948cc engine) appearing in 1956. There were subtle updates over the course of production, but very little beyond the mid 1960s. This late example was registered in June 1970, but is effectively the same as one hailing from 1965.
