   The Morris Minor has a raised area in the middle of its hood as the design was changed before production, making the car shorter and wider. Designed by Mini creator, Alec Issigonis (see pp. 146–47), the Minor mixed practicality with good handling. It saw massive success throughout the 1950s.

  During the Morris Minor’s 23-year production run, its distinctive shape remained little altered. Its look was influenced by 1940’s car styling trends, and because rounded panels were often stronger
than flat ones.
