VAHGUARD: BRITISH MOTOR HERITAGE MORRIS MINOR 1000 60th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION MOD

The Morris Minor was launched at the 1948 London Motor Show, Britain's first since the cessation of hostilities, alongside another legend the Jaguar XK120. In its original form it used a 918cc side valve engine and its headlights were mounted low in the grille. Foreign market legislation forced the lights up into pods on the wings in 1951 and then, when Morris Motors merged with Austin in 1952 to create BMC, the Minor received the Austin-designed 803cc A-Series engine. This was updated to create the 'single screen' Minor 1000 in 1956. The Minor was Alec Issigonis' first complete car design and possessed extremely surefooted handling which was many years ahead of its competitors. Engine: 948cc 4IL OHV Power: 37bhp@4750rpm Torque: 50lb.ft@2500rpmMaximum speed: 73mph 0-60mph: 25.9secs Produced: 1,303,331 (all Minors).

VANGUARD : BMW AUSTIN SEVEN DELUXE THE 4th OLDEST SURVIVING MINI MODEL

Austin Se7en De Luxe, Farina Grey, A-A2S7/108: The Fourth Oldest Surviving Mini. Gladys Hobro bought XLL 27 new in 1959 and kept it until June 1986 but only used it when she and her family returned home to Bognor Regis from Khartoum, Sudan, where they were based. Second owner, Chichester-based David Gallimore, never started his intended restoration and offered the 30,041 mile car for sale in 2011. It was purchased, in the original but very rusty state modelled here, by three Mini enthusiasts from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, Richard Bremner, Bryan Smart and Robert Lancaster-Gaye. In 2012, having proved the car's production history, significance and originality, they consigned it, unrestored, to Bonham's auctioneers. They'd initially feared losing their Pounds 10,000 investment so were amazed when it sold for Pounds 40,250. Researched with the help of the BMIHT Gaydon.
