1951 Morris Motors brochure

Post by philipkearney »

At a small local show a few weeks ago, I bought (for a very small amount) a 1951 Morris Motors brochure/flyer that I hadn't seen before. It's about 11" x 17", the sort of size you would expect as a newspaper insert. It shows the Oxford and Six saloon, but most of the pages are dedicated to the Minor. A lovely little find for my archive !

I must admit, the line "Test! Test! Test!" made me laugh. So ... excitable!
I have two Minors in upstate New York. One is the 1961 Traveller my dad bought new that year in London, where I was born. It's had a hard life but is still running cheerfully at 54K miles. The second is the oldest Minor confirmed to survive in North America, a LHD high-light Tourer built in April 1949. It's a total basket case, but will be restored over the coming years.

About as excitable as things got in immediate post war Britain. You can just imagine this line coming from Mr Cholmondley-Warner.
