The cars transformed by a new engine

Summary: The Morris Minor, launched in 1948 with an outdated 918cc engine, unexpectedly remained in production until 1971. Early in its career, the brand merged with Austin, allowing access to the innovative BMC A-Series engine. Despite its smaller size at 803cc, the A-Series offered comparable power and significant development potential. By the end of production, the engine evolved to 1098cc, demonstrating impressive longevity.
