Morris Marina

The Marina was the successor to the 1100 and 1300 series.

It came in various body styles: a coupé, saloon and traveller.

Morris Mini

Initially called the Mini Minor, the Mini soon became a smash hit all over the world. Its innovative hydrolastic suspension provided superb roadholding, if a little harsh.

Oxford Farina

This is the first Oxford with the Farina body style. From this point on BMC used the same body for Austin Cambridge. The brochure caption says the car was built in Holland.

The Morris Oxford MO series was manufactured from 1948 to 1952. The Oxford was the Minor's big sister. It was fitted with a four cylinder 1.5 litre side-valve engine that produced 41 bhp at 4200 rpm.
