January 4th 2011 02:47

Morris minor british 50 years motoring









car that symbolised Britain's emergence from post-war austerity celebrated a remarkable milestone 50 years ago today, says Stephen Bayley.





as he says


Has any other English machine ever been treated to such respectful affection as the Minor? This soft-looking car makes even hard men wistful. Here is that unusual thing which, for reasons neuro-aestheticians must one day research, inspires universal delight. Is it the shape itself that affects the emotions or the dense cloud of associations swirling around it?

Probably a bit of each.




Cute little buggy isn't it wasn't it?
