Morris Minor

Designed by Sir Alec Issigonis, who later went on to produce the Mini, the Morris Minor was revolutionary when it was launched in 1948. It was in 1952 that the line was updated and an estate version of the Minor, known as the Traveller, was introduced. The Traveller featured an external structural ash (wood) frame for the rear bodywork, with two side-hinged rear doors. Seen as the classic family-sized car, the "Moggie" (or "Morrie" in Australia) is just as popular now as it ever was!

Haynes Range

John Haynes wrote and published his first book, on building an Austin 7 Special, whilst he was still at school in 1956. He wrote two more ' builders' manuals while doing his National Service in the RAF. The first 'proper' Haynes Owners Workshop Manual, for the Austin Healy 'Frogeye' Sprite, was published in 1965. Based on the stripdown and rebuild of the project vehicle with an extensive use of step-by-step photographs, a process that has not changed to this day.

There are around 300 UK car manuals in print at present with 130 Plus UK motorcycle manual titles. (Not to mention equivalent ranges in the USA, France and Sweden.) Writing a car manual is no easy job, it takes 20 to 30 man-weeks. Authors work in pairs to help shorten the origination time and to avoid themselves going crazy. From the start of a project to the publication of the manual it usually takes between three to six months.

This range is great for motor enthusiasts, anyone with a passion for a specific car, or people who just appreciate the classic Haynes car manual imagery.
