Morris Minivan, 1961. Reg. no. 82 PAF. Chassis no. M/AV4/205400, engine no. 8AM/FAU/H 2080188. The Morris Mini-Minor is one of the most iconic British cars from the sixties. This is an example of the van version of the Mini which went on sale in June 1960. Its compactness and good road holding made it popular not only amongst shopkeepers but also with the thrifty motorist with a low price of £360 due to the exemption of vans from purchase tax. This van was owned and used by Mr Roger Matthews in the family electrical business in Cornwall and was maintained by him until 1981. In 20 years of use only the tyres and exhaust had to be replaced after 116,186 miles.

Morris Cowley 11.9 h.p. motor car chassis, sectioned, 1929. This is the development of a car designed and made by Sir William Morris in 1912. By 1929 Sir William’s Morris Motors produced a catalogue advertising a number of variations of this car including the Morris Cowley Chassis. This was the cheapest way to buy a Morris Motors car - without any body work. The Automobile Engineer magazine also notes that parts of the Chassis were made in America and Coventry to be assembled in Cowley, bringing the need for a high level of accuracy in manufacturing whilst keeping the cost low. This is a perfect example of a vehicle in a competitive and commercial market.
