Morris Mini-Traveller

The Morris Mini-Traveller was launched in the public arena in autumn 1960. This was an estate version with windows of the Morris Mini-Minor four-seater small car that had been launched in 1959. The car was fitted with an engine mounted transversely in the front and front-wheel drive and represented a new concept in the construction of small cars. By comparison with the other saloons, built with to the same design in other respects, the length had increased by 25 cm to 3.30 m and the weight had risen by up to 50 kg. Like the Morris Minor Traveller, the rear of the Morris Mini-Traveller was designed with wooden trim and the "Woody" Mini was born.
