Morris Minor LCV 1957 - 1972
In 1956 the Series III Minor was launched with curved windscreen and bigger rear window; and 948cc engine. The Van and Pickup models were upgraded in the same way and the Post Office vans were now much more 'off the shelf' instead of bespoke products. In 1962 The Morris Minor 1000 was upgraded with a 1098cc engine (ADO 59) and vans followed suit. In 1968 the vans were further upgraded to an optional 8cwt specification with wider wheels an extra leaves in the springs, and at this time were marketed as 'Austin 6/8cwt' or 'Morris 6/8cwt'
