1959 Morris Minor Traveller

Morris's Minor is almost as universal a symbol of England as the London bus. Furthermore, with over 1.6 million being manufactured in its 23-year reign, it is unquestionably one of the most successful cars of all time. We shouldn't be too surprised, however, as the man leading the design team, Alec Issigonis, went on to pen a succession of ground-breaking cars, including the ubiquitous Mini. Unveiled at the 1948 Earl's Court Motor Show, the Minor set out to provide the luxuries and practicality of existing quality motorcars at a price suitable for the ordinary person.
