1971 Morris Minor Traveller | London

A 1971 Morris Minor Traveller, the estate version of the Minor with a timber-framed rear body. Its exposed ash frame, aluminium panels and vertically split rear doors give a small, practical car a look entirely its own. The Traveller served as an Army staff car and with District Nurses. This car is black with a red interior, a bold pairing against the woodwork at the back. Under the bonnet is the 1,098cc A-series four, the engine the Traveller kept to the end of its run. It seats five, and the split rear doors open onto the load area. The Traveller suits period film and television work, where its timber body places a scene in mid-century Britain. Photographers get the visible ash frame and split doors in every rear three-quarter shot, and the black and red scheme keeps fashion and editorial frames clean and graphic. Weddings and anniversary days suit its friendly looks. The car is based in London.
