The 'Moggy Minor' is one of the UK's most iconic cars ever produced. Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, who went on to design the Mini, the Morris Minor was introduced in 1948. Between its debut at the Earls Court Motor Show in September of that year and 1971 when the last rolled off the British production line, an amazing 1,368,291 had been made at the Morris Works in Oxford.

Our model is a replica of the original Minor MM saloon, a two-door version which featured the headlights set in the radiator section of the front, covering the period between 1948 and 1952. Later versions were to see the headlights set into the front wings.

Authentic features on our little model include original headlight configuration, the split windscreen, a detailed chrome radiator grille and an intricate Oxford badge above the radiator. Registered CCF 703, the number plate is printed in silver out of black. The wheels have a maroon insert and the front bumpers replicate the authentic split format with the two chrome sections separated by a maroon centre section. Rear lights are printed in red, while the extensive chrome masking on the front, sides and rear are in sharp contrast to the maroon bodywork. In 1:76 scale, it is a delightfully compact little replica, which would also enhance a landscaped railway scene of the 1950s era.
