Morris Minor Series II 1952 - 1956
In 1952, a more modern BMC A-series ohv engine of 803cc was given to create the Series II. The Minor was available as a 2-door Saloon, 4-door saloon and 2-door convertible, but in 1953 a new wooden-bodied traveller was introduced along with the LCV models in Van or Pickup form. The split screen and 'cheese grater grille continued although the bonnet now acquired a large 'handle' with 'M' badges on either side. In 1954 the grille was changed to one with horizontal bars. In 1956 the Series III Minor was launched with curved windscreen and bigger rear window; and 948cc engine.
