Morris Minor Series MM Tourer 1948

Series MM Tourer 1948

What is your favourite car of all time?

The star small saloon of the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show was undoubtedly the new Morris Minor, which was described by The Autocar as "a real triumph of British design". Its good looks, unitary construction and new torsion bar suspension put it head and shoulders above any other saloon car in the same class on display. The Series MM Tourer model revived the small Morris open-car tradition, the previous Eights all having been available in the tourer form up to the war. Remarkably civilised, it enjoyed the same standard of trim as the saloon and with the hood raised the car still looked good, unlike most tourers of the period. Total Series MM production was 176,002.
