History of the Morris Minor
The half-timbered Morris Minor Traveller was introduced in late 1953. ‘Traveller’ was a Morris naming tradition for estate cars.
Always popular, some 215,000 ‘Woodies’ were manufactured until production ended in 1971. The Traveller was of the same monocoque construction (where the chassis is integral with the body) as the Morris Minor saloon. However, it also had an exposed, structural ash frame with aluminium panels for the rear bodywork, and two side-hinged rear doors.
The floor and “cab” section of the Woodies were built at the main Morris plant at Cowley. Then construction continued at the MG factory at Abingdon. Here the varnished wood and aluminum rear structure was added. The woodshop at the MG factory was perfect for this part of the process. This was because the wood frame bodied MG TF had been built here, and was being phased out in favour of the all steel MGA.
