1957 Morris Minor 1000 | South Lanarkshire, Lanarkshire

The Morris Minor 1000 is the small British family car that brought a curved one-piece windscreen and a larger rear window to the Minor in 1956. It is known and liked for its roomy cabin, easy handling and a friendly face that many people link with everyday English life. Its affectionate nickname is the Moggie. This 1957 car is deep red with a black interior, and bright chrome trim stands out against the rounded body. Under the bonnet is a 1300cc engine, a step up from the smaller units the model was built with. The car is in very good condition. The strong red and soft curves read clearly on camera and place a scene in the 1950s at once. That suits period film and TV, fashion and editorial shoots, advertising and brand photography. For weddings it gives a couple a cheerful, old-fashioned arrival. The car is based in Lanarkshire.
