A Brief Overview Of The History Of A Morris Minor Classic Cars (1948 to 1971) The End Part
Internal politics inside BMC, the parent of Morris, may have led to the limited North American sales of the Minor.
Over 1.6 million of the lightweight, rear-wheel drive car were eventually produced, mainly in Cowley, Oxfordshire, and exported around the world, with many variants of the original model. Production continued in Birmingham, England until 1971 (for the commercial variants and estate only), and it remains a well loved and collected vehicle. The very last Morris Minor Classic Cars (commercial) was assembled at Stoke, Nelson New Zealand in 1974.
