Morris Minor Series 2

History of this Vehicle:

The first Morris Minors were powered by a side valve 918cc engine. The very earliest of these cars featured headlamps that were set very low on the car alongside the radiator grill. Due to the cars being exported, the lights were moved up onto the wing to comply with American lighting regulations.

In 1952, after the merger between the Morris and Austin businesses to form BMC (British Motor Corporation Ltd), the Minor was fitted with a more powerful overhead valve engine from the Austin A30 - the BMC A series engine. This car was known as the Series 2.

The Series 2 were produced between August 1952 and September 1956, with chassis numbers ranging from 160001 to 448714.
