  • 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.

  • The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan by Rick Feibusch
    The Riley One-Point-Five Sports Sedan By Rick Feibusch The late 1950's imported car boom in America was fueled by dozens of mechanically interesting and unusual cars that were brought to us from all over the world. American car buyers had gone through the car famine of the war-torn Forties, the reintroduction of outdated prewar models, and the plethora of new cars from US manufacturers, starting with the Studebaker in mid-1946 through the revolutionary Chevy V8s in 1955. One thing was cl ear, American cars were generally getting bigger, faster and flashier by the day. The British had opened the imported car market in the States years before Japanese or European manufacturing firms had recovered from the hostilities. The jaunty MGs, awe i nspiring Jaguars and economical Austins, Hillmans and Morris Minors had demonstrated to America that there was an alternative to the oversized, overpowered and rocket ship styled domestic offerings. Foreign car sales started to climb and actually take of f once cars from Europe and Scandinavia appeared on our shores. By 1957, the numbers had become big enough to alarm the usually lethargic Detroit to a point that the big three had “import fighting” compacts on their respective drawing boards. Americans ha d become less skeptical and the foreign car business was here to stay. The most memorable examples were the sleek and impressive sports and luxury cars imported from Germany and England and low-production Italian exotics. While thousands of clever and ec onomical little transportation devices built by Austin, Morris, Renault, Volkswagen and others made their way to our shores each year.

  • Morris Minor Minor Adjustments
    Morris Minor Minor Adjustments - Modification Guide by Rick Feibusch As old British cars go, there are few that can REALLY be used as daily transport. I¹ve met a few stalwart MG and Triumph loonies who can attest to years of regular service by their trusty ol¹ TC or TR-3, but these folks will usually follow that claim with: A. Hilarious tales of weekly adventures, or B. The fact that they have always worked freelance, or, C. They don¹t drive the roadster as much as they used to since they bought the Toyota in Œ88. , or all of the above. A car that can be, and is, used on a regular basis is the Morris Minor. I personally know a number of folks who use a Minor as their primary car. Robert Grant of Venice, CA. has driven his dark green four door to work for over ten years. George Kelson of San Francisco drives a bright green Œ67 pickup daily as his work truck! My wife and I have used a Morris as at least one of our everyday cars since the late Seventies. Though not generally the dainty little stockers that one might view at the local British car meet or see on the BBC, a modernized Minor can provide dependable and competent transportation with unforgettable style and verve. Many of these modifications consist of adding running factory upgrades to earlier cars as well as bolt on upgrades borrowed from Austin-Healey Sprites and MG Midgets that carried Minor based mechanicals into the late 1970s. We will occasionally mention the dreaded ³D² word; Datsun.
