Morris Minor

I had a neighbor who bought a old Morris Minor while in England. He shipped it home and refurbished the whole car. It was originally was owned by a British gentelman who worked on the continent as well as England. The Morris was set up to drive on either roads. While in France or any where in Europe you drive on the right side of the road. When you go back to England, where they drive on the wron...er... left side of the road; you can use a swing down bar to hold the gas, brake, and clutch peddles up. This bar also releases the steering wheel which you pull out and shove in to the same spot on the right side. When you pull the bar up to lock the wheel in place, another set of peddles drop down on the right side! Way too cool!
The Morris Minor was a British motor car aimed at the family market. It was the work of a team led by Alec Issigonis, who would go on to design (and be knighted for) the successful Mini. The Minor was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 September 1948. The prototype had been known as the Morris Mosquito. and some later models were called Morris Minor 1000. It should not be confused with the earlier Morris Minor of 1928.
At launch there were two variants, the standard 2-door saloon, and the tourer (convertible). The 4 door saloon was introduced in 1950. The wood-framed estate called the Traveller, plus a panel van and a pick-up truck version were introduced later with the Series II upgrades in 1952. The Traveller was very popular, and remained in production until 1971, a year after the saloon had been discontinued.
According to one author, the car has frequently been described by writers as typifying “Englishness.
