Just terrific! I've always been a big fan of the "3-box"ย  car design, so naturally I love these little guys.ย  Looks like Brooklin is taking a serious "do-it-right"ย  approach...and it shows! Thanks for posting this John.

These make for interesting little gassersย  too. ๐Ÿ˜Žย

Thanks ever so much, John, for posting that video of the Morris Minor. My guess is that they were able to modify the original master to accommodate the larger one piece curved windshield, larger rear window both with bright metal surrounds as well as modified grille area and provision for small parking lights.

Somewhere, and I donโ€™t remember where or from whom I learned that Lansdowne put a special effort into the accuracy of the โ€˜52 Morris Minor and it showed. Now this revision has taken a step to an even higher level of accuracy. I look forward to the Lilac model celebrating the 1 millionth Morris Minor and I too hope that Lansdowne will in due time add other colors to their offering of this car. ย This is good new from Brooklin.

Here just one of my two, no hot rod this one, but still going strong at 194,000 miles with its numbers matching 37 HP engine.ย  Three box design and four doors.

Front lawn 5 16 #2
Front lawn #3 5 16

And this one's been in the family for 63 years, also with 194,000 miles.

Hi David

John Roberts did the special effort to provide the accuracy required.
