From Major To Minor

This is a Morris Minor.
The Minor was in continuous production from 1947 until 1973.
It was designed by Alec Issigonis, who produced the original Mini in 1959.
Said the owner of this example, Geoffrey S. Smith of Wakefield:"I worked for a Morris garage for many years.This is a 1959 model, the best car Morris ever produced, although I prefer my four-door due to the stainless-steel door-frames. The first models had high revving engines as the gearing was all wrong, and they only lasted about 20,000 miles;the pistons were low quality in those days. This one has done about 173,000 miles...."
He talked for quite a while and was happy to be mentioned along with his proudly preserved Minor.
A real classic.
