Morris Minor Van
Launched in 1928 and in production from 1929, William Morris took his cars down to the territory of the Austin Seven. The first Minors were given a Wolseley-designed 847cc overhead cam engine but a less sophisticated sidevalve engine was given in 1931. The Morris Minor was replaced in 1934 by the Morris Eight, but Vans continued to be produced until 1939 for the Post Office contract.
