1949 Morris Minor Series MM

This car was on the stand of the Morris Minor Owners Club at the Northern Classic Car Show at the G-Mex Centre in Manchester in August 1994.

It's a 1949 Morris Minor Series MM, the car designed by Alex Issigonis and has a 4-cylinder inline 916cc engine. Although it appears to be black in this photograph it is a dark shade of maroon. A note in the brochure of the event says this:

'The Morris Minor Owners Club will be displaying a number of cars which covers the production of the Minor models from first to last. The first is a 1949 Lowlight MM convertible in maroon. This car has only been back on the road 6 months and is as near to original as possible. It is owned by the national club secretary.'
