A charming British icon
Unveiled in 1948, the Morris Minor ranks amongst the most iconic British cars of the post-war era. Designed under the direction of Alec Issigonis, the future creator of the Mini, it enjoyed a particularly long production run and was produced in numerous body styles.
The Countryman version, the estate variant of the Minor, is today one of the most appealing models in the range. It combines the characteristic charm of the little Morris with an estate body style that has come to epitomise British motoring of the 1950s and 1960s.
The car on display, first registered on 1 March 1968, is a right-hand-drive Morris Minor 1000 Countryman.
The vehicle has undergone extensive work in recent years: its engine has been overhauled and its bodywork repainted. Thanks to this work, it now looks particularly smart, whilst retaining the instantly recognisable character of this model.
Its roadworthiness test, carried out on 17 December 2024, was passed. The mileage recorded on that occasion was 93,289 km.
Registered in France as a ‘classic car’, this Countryman is a fine example of a popular British car, appreciated as much for its design as for its mechanical simplicity and particularly charming character.
