Another old photo kindly sent in by Les F, this time showing his classic Morris Minor 1000 saloon, parked alongside his father's Austin A60 Cambridge. The Moggy is a Minor 1000, a 948cc model that was first introduced in 1956, replacing the outgoing splitscreen Series 2 and its 803cc A series engine. A one-piece screen was now the order of the day, although at this time the Minors still had the clap-hand windscreen wiper arrangement from the earlier car. Later Minor 1000s would have a conventional wiper system, larger side/indicator lamp units front and back, and an A series engine stretched to 1098cc.
