On this day
On this day, 60 years ago.
On 15 August 1962, a mere three years after the appearance of the Mini, the Morris 1100 was launched with its revolutionary newly developed Hydrolastic suspension. The location for the launch was Worcester College during the summer break, where the foreign press stayed – and Alec Issigonis was in attendance. ***Copied from another site

I bought Jan one of these (think it was actually the 1300) and must say that I was very impressed with it myself.
They were probably out of production when I traded something in for it, as was the norm, for our cars. Still is when I think about it, but now a 75 surpasses that old dogma (not that we were ever concerned about it) Regards Mike
