My dad bought a brand new Morris Minor Traveller when I was born. It was a beloved workhorse that was part of our lives until long after I'd left home. It was passed around between family members and was an integral part of countless family outings. When my aunt was driving it, we would load it up with my mum, my brother, four cousins (two in the boot space) and me - plus all our stuff. Even with us all on board, I don't remember it struggling on hills or anything, which is impressive considering it only had an 1100cc engine. That said, although it claimed a top speed of 75, if you got much above 65, it would scream like it was going to explode. 😂 It was extremely reliable, for its time, although I do remember my dad occasionally having to use a starting handle on cold days.
It would have been more direct & to the point, to say one million cars in twelve years. A former girlfriend of mine had a Morris Minor 1000 in battleship grey, as far as know her sister still drives it in 2025. I love the tone of the engine.
