8 Travellers Car
8 Travellers Car he Morris Traveller, as it has affectionately become known, has gained a well deserved reputation for being a practical and versatile vehicle. However, like the light commercial vehicles, it did not feature in the original line-up launched in 1948. In fact, the Traveller has the distinction of being the last Morris Minor model to enter production. It was not until autumn of 1953 that the Traveller made its debut atT the London Motor Show. Full scale production began in October of that year. Interestingly, the brochure issued at the Motor Show did not refer to the vehicle as a Traveller. American influences were clearly at work, and the designation ‘Station Wagon’ was used instead. Coincidentally, the contemporary term ‘Shooting Brake’ was also applied to the Traveller. However this was never an official designation, merely a carry over from the pre-war era when this terminology was used to describe estate type models, particularly those with wooden panelling. It is, however, a description still used today by those who have fond memories of the Traveller in its hey day. The Station Wagon designation, however apt, was short lived. Within a matter of months, updated brochures were describing the vehicle as the ‘Travellers Car,’ and linking its promotion to the bigger-engined and larger proportioned Morris Oxford Series MO Travellers Car. Advertising ran concurrent for a time, presumably to give prospective customers a choice with regard to which Morris vehicle they would like. This followed the trend already noted in connection with Morris Motors intention to manufacture large, The combined attraction of having the features of a saloon, as well as those of a light, general purpose vehicle, were actively promoted.

1 Chassis Number Guide
Chassis number guide You will be asked for your vehicle’s chassis number if you purchase any of our archive products (including heritage certificates). It is important to quote the chassis number from the vehicle itself as opposed to any documentation (including logbooks) as these often contain errors. We have created this guide to provide you with further information relating to chassis numbers, including where to find them. What is a chassis number? The ‘chassis number’ can also be referred to as the ‘car number’ or VIN (Vehicle Identity Number). This number is unique to the vehicle and can be used for identification purposes. Why the chassis number and not the registration mark? All of our information comes from the original factory build and despatch records and these are recorded in chassis number order. Registration marks were allocated to the vehicles at the different dealerships once they left the factory and we do not hold the records for these. Where do you find the chassis number and what does it look like? Please use the following list to find out more information relating to your vehicle. If you have any difficulty in locating the chassis number we recommend contacting a relevant car owners club for guidance.

Last Morris Minor Saloon Built Returns to Cowley After 50 Years
Last Morris Minor Saloon Built returns to Cowley after 50 years 12th November 2020 A historically significant Morris Minor has returned to the place where it rolled off the production line on the 12th November 1970. 50 years after it was built, the last Morris Minor saloon to be produced has been relocated into the building where it was made at MINI Plant Oxford in Cowley, Oxfordshire and now forms part of the factory’s collection of historic vehicles. The gleaming car is a credit to the professionals, specialists and volunteers from the Morris Minor Owners club who have worked tirelessly over the past four years to restore the car to its former glory. Today, the fully restored vehicle looks just as good as it did when it was first built. The transformation seemed impossible when the car was discovered in 2016 after languishing in the open for many years. The provenance of the vehicle was well established having previously been offered for sale in 1994. Sadly, the new owner at that time was unable to enjoy the pleasure of ownership due to ill health. After his demise, the car was abandoned and it deteriorated badly in the intervening years. The car was acquired by the Morris Minor Owners Club in 2016. Initially a phased restoration was planned. Substantial structural repairs were needed, and the services of a specialist welder and fabricator were enlisted. In 2018, thanks to a generous bequest from a former member, things gathered pace and with the help of members with specialist skills, original components including the engine and gearbox were rebuilt.

Classic Cars & Safety
Classic Cars & Safety In January 1963, over a year before the Mustang made its public appearance, Mr. R. C. Lunn, a Ford engineer, delivered a technical paper to the Society of Automotive Engineers on the subject of an ex- perimental model of the Mustang which was being displayed in various parts of the country. ...They showed a glimpse of what the industry could do in the elementary stages of safety design. [These were] a “fail-safe” dual braking system, integrated headrests to prevent or minimise neck and spinal injuries, a roll-bar to strengthen the roof structure in the event of roll-overs, a steering column preventing rear- ward displacement into the driver during a front-end collision, a collapsible steering shaft, provision for shoulder harness and lap belts, strongly anchored seats, and bucket seats with lateral holding power. In the production-model Mustang which was introduced in April, 1964 (and of which nearly half a million were sold in twelve months) every one of these features had been eliminated.
