Morris Minor Exploring the Legend
The Morris Minor celebrates its 50th anniversary in 1998. Here, Jon Pressnell provides an illustrated compendium of information on this evergreen car. The book is a mixture of historical, technical and hobby topics. It provides first-hand insights about the work of engineer Alec Issigonis, and Jack Daniels - his right-hand man on the Minor. Areas covered include: the Wolseley Eight engine choice over the flat-four engine; the Minor's replacement; the Minor in the US, the alta-head Minor, oddball models, the hydrolastic Minor, and twin-cam Minors; Minor scale models; anecdotes about famous owners such as Sterling Moss, Bryan Ferry and Lord Linley; and sketches of the future and the rationale behind these.
