1963 Morris Traveller | Hastings, East Sussex

The Morris Traveller is the Minor's estate, built with an exposed ash frame, aluminium panels and split rear doors. It is liked as a small, practical family car, and it also served as an Army staff vehicle and with District Nurses. This 1963 car is green outside and green inside, so paint and trim sit together in a single colour. The pale timber frame stands out against it, and the rear doors open in two halves onto the load area. It seats four. The visible woodwork gives photographers, fashion and editorial stylists a clear period detail to frame, and the shape reads easily in still images at events and displays. Its mid-century British lines sit comfortably in 1960s film and TV settings, and the green paint against pale timber gives advertising work a distinct backdrop. It also suits wedding arrivals and photographs. The car is based in Hastings, East Sussex.
