The Classic Morris Minor Car Story \*Great * * Five * Star */

Eric Lord the director of Morris motors said that Lord Nutfield thought that the new Morris Minor look like a poached egg and that the car was narrow gutted. The people in the department worked though the night and literary cut the car in two down the middle. Then added four inches down the centre of the car, this then made all the difference to it appearance. You can see it in the bonnet and also in the front bumper. Morris Minor had its depute at Earls court motor show in October 1948 with a price tag of £358/10's/7d. And this new model was only announced on the eve of the show. And of course this show was the export only show. All the new model there you could look at touch but could order or drive them home!
