Car of the Week
1957 Morris Minor Traveller (Woody)
Owner: Lynsae Tulloch: Kinross
The Morris Minor is an economy produced by Morris Motors between 1948 and 1971. It made its debut at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, in October 1948. More than 1.6 million were manufactured in three series: the Series MM (1948 to 1953), the Series II (1952 to 1956), and the 1000 series (1956 to 1971).
Initially available as a two-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was expanded to include a four-door saloon from September 1950. An estate car with a wooden frame (the Traveller) was produced from October 1953.
The 1957 Morris Minor 1000 Traveller is a highly collectible "woodie" estate car, distinguished by its iconic structural ash wood frame and aluminium rear panels. The 1957 model year is significant as it was part of the first full year of the "Minor 1000" series, which introduced a larger 948cc engine and a single-piece curved windscreen.
Lynsae and Woody have been regulars on the Perthshire Classic Car Tour and are also active members of the Morris Minor Owners Club. Lynsae has a trusted navigator in her son, Brodie, who is the youngest car enthusiast to participate on the tour.
