By the mid 1950's the Morris Minor was a well established and respected small, family sized car, the one thing it lack though was a sufficiently powerful engine. In 1956 Morris Minor fans got the car they had been waiting for, the Morris 1000, now powered by an improved A-series engine of 948cc.
The new engine gave the 1000 the capability of higher cruising speeds and generally more flexible derivability. Other improvements included a larger rear window on the Saloons and a new one-piece front windscreen. The model was an immediate success and by 1961 Morris Minor/1000 production had passed the magic 1,000,000. To mark the occasion a limited run of 350 (one for each UK dealer) lilac coloured Minor 1,000,000's were built.
