Collectors who want that final linchpin vehicle for their collection or classic truck enthusiasts who seek something unusual should visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars and check out this 1960 Morris Minor 1000 ¼-ton Pickup Truck.
The “Moggy Truck,” as they became affectionately known in the UK, was the work of Sir Alec Issigonis, who would later design the original Mini Cooper.
This left-hand drive Morris was sold new in Longview, Washington. It was purchased in 1994 from the original owner by J. Smalley of Silverdale, Washington, who drove it as a fun weekend toy. He then sold it to K. McBride of Seattle, Washington, in 2004. Mr. McBride did a total restoration on this truck to use for promotion in his business, hence the modern wheels and tires. In 2007, Mr. McBride sold a package of cars from his extensive collection to the current vendor. Great history and a very expensive restoration make for a show ready, excellent driving Morris Minor ¼-ton truck.
Under the bonnet is a .95L inline four-cylinder engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission.
This truck rides on Michelin Harmony radials, size 175/70R13, at all four corners and the tires wrap around Minilite alloy wheels. The wheels and tires are in overall very good order.
The cream paint and trim are in overall excellent condition and the wee truck’s bodywork is straight and solid. One can see the family resemblance to the Morris saloons from the B-pillars forward, particularly as the front fenders are faired into the doors. The truck’s engine bay is very tidy while the front bumper looks great. In back, the bed has a newer oaken and steel floor along with a full-sized spare tire mounted to a matching alloy wheel. Covering the bed is tan canvas-like material supported by a handful of metal rods.
Inside, the brown bucket seats look fantastic, as does the corresponding carpeting. The neutral headliner and three-spoke, body-colored steering wheel are in similar shape. The metal, body-colored dashboard is in excellent order, with its ahead-of-its-time center-mounted gauges. The inner door liners are in very good order.
The Morris Minor debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in London on September 20th, 1948. Over its total production run, more than 1.3 million were manufactured between 1948 and 1971. Issigonis’ design concept was to combine the luxury and convenience of a good motor car at a price affordable by the working classes, and as a result the Morris Minor was a very common family car in the ‘50s and ‘60s in the UK. The Minor was a roomy vehicle with superior cornering and handling characteristics for its time. While it’s 0-60 mph time was a sedate 30 seconds, it sipped petrol at an impressive 40 mpg (Imperial).
Closed van and open flat-bed (“pick-up”) versions of the Minor were built from 1953 until the end of production. They were designed for commercial use with small businesses, although many were also used by larger corporations. Both the van and the pickup differed from the monocoque construction of the Saloon and Traveller variants by having a separate chassis. They also differed in details, such as telescopic rear dampers, stiffer rear leaf springs and lower-ratio differentials to cope with heavier loads.
The commercial versions were initially marketed as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up, with a Series III designation applied from 1956.

om Morris
Morris Motors historia sträcker sig över flera årtionden och inkluderar produktionen av olika ikoniska modeller som lämnade ett betydande avtryck på bilindustrin i Storbritannien. Från dess grundande till dess integration i British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC) spelade Morris en avgörande roll för att forma vardagsbilismen för otaliga britter.

Tidiga åren (1912-1920-talet): William Morris grundade Morris Motors Limited 1912. Företaget producerade inledningsvis prisvärda fordon, inklusive Morris Oxford och Morris Cowley, som var kända för sin tillförlitlighet och blev populära val bland arbetarklassen.
Mellankrigstiden (1930-talet): Under 1930-talet introducerade Morris betydande modeller som Morris Eight, en liten bil som blev populär på grund av sitt överkomliga pris, tillförlitlighet och användarvänlighet. Även Morris Ten väckte uppmärksamhet under denna tid.
Efter andra världskriget (1940- och 1950-talen): Efter andra världskriget introducerade Morris modeller som Morris Minor år 1948. Minor var en revolutionerande småbil med moderna funktioner och rymligt interiörutrymme, och den blev en ikon inom brittisk bilindustri.
Expansion och sammanslagning (1960-talet): Under 1960-talet var Morris en del av en serie sammanslagningar som bildade British Motor Corporation (BMC). Modeller som Morris Mini, lanserad 1959, blev en internationell sensation och ett emblem för brittisk design och ingenjörskonst.
British Leyland-eran (1970-talet): År 1968 fusionerade BMC med Leyland Motors för att bilda British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). Morris fortsatte att producera flera modeller under denna period, men märket började förlora sin individuella identitet inom det större konglomeratet.
Viktiga Morris-modeller:

Morris Oxford (1913)
Morris Cowley (1915)
Morris Eight (1935)
Morris Ten (1933)
Morris Minor (1948)
Morris Mini (1959)
Morris Marina (1971)
Morris Ital (1980)
Under sin historia producerade Morris bilar som tillgodose behoven hos genomsnittliga britter. Deras fordon var kända för att vara pålitliga, praktiska och ofta prisvärda, vilket gjorde dem vanliga på Storbritanniens vägar under många år.

Dock ställdes British Leyland inför ekonomiska svårigheter och kvalitetsproblem i slutet av 1970-talet och början av 1980-talet, vilket ledde till en försämring av Morris och andra varumärkens rykte under dess paraply. Morris-varumärket fasades så småningom ut med omorganiseringen av British Leyland, när företaget skiftade fokus och rationaliserade sina produktlinjer.

Trots sin slutliga nedgång spelade Morris en viktig roll för att forma bilkulturen i Storbritannien och lämnade ett arv med flera modeller som blev inrotade i minnet hos generationer av brittiska bilförare.
