Morris Cars 1948-1984: A Pictorial History (Veloce)

Ray Newell ISBN 978 1 787110 55 7 Review copy supplied by the publisher

This handy, soft cover guide joins Veloce’s growing collection of similar Pictorial History publications – past marques covered including Austin, Rover, Triumph and Standard, Rootes and Wolseley.

It’s a simple concept but it works extremely well, and this example covers all the Morris cars produced between 1948 and 1984 – from cars that are now revered in classic car circles to those that are rather less well-loved.

Each model is illustrated in full colour, with photos accompanied by plenty of information, including technical specifications, optional equipment, factory colour schemes and production details.

This particular guide has been put together by Ray Newell, and as secretary of the Morris Minor Owners Club since 1983, and a founder member of the Morris Vehicles Association, he’s well placed to write about the cars featured in this book.
