DESCRIPTION
The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis, was one of Britain's most popular cars, and 2008 will mark 60 years since the first production models rolled off the production lines at Cowley in Oxfordshire. In this celebratory publication, 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.

THE AUTHOR
Ray Newell is a recognised authority on the Morris Minor, having written extensively on the subject over a number of years, and a true enthusiast with a wealth of experience in owning, driving and restoring this popular car. He is also the National Secretary of the  UK based Morris Minor Owners Club, a position he has held since 1983.  Ray has recently written the Morris Minor Essential Buyer's Guide in the Veloce series, and this new and exciting publication has been compiled to celebrate the land-mark achievement of 60 years since the Morris Minor entered production. Using contemporary materials, Ray has drawn on his expansive personal collection  as well as those of fellow enthusiasts  to  produce a striking publication which transports readers back to the years when the Morris Minor was in production.
