Morris Minor Traveller
What is your favourite car of all time?
The Morris Minor Traveller, with its wood framed body was an addition to the range in October 1953. Mechanically identical to the other Series 2 Minors, the floorpan , sills and entire front end of the Traveller were common to the saloons. The standard steel roof finished at a point just above the door pillar where it was joined by an aluminium roof, which ran to the rear of the car. This was supported by the wooden framework, which bolted to the steel floorpan. The side panels were also in aluminium, but the rear wings, which differed slightly to those of the saloon, were in steel. The wood frame itself was made up of 50 pieces of seasoned ash, explaining the extra cost of the models, £599 on announcement, compared to the four-door's £560.
