Hardback. Etat : Fine. Here?s one in the same style, with no external links or references: Some cars earn their place in history through breathtaking performance. Others by looking impossibly futuristic. The Morris Minor achieved immortality by being utterly sensible, almost comically dependable, and somehow becoming one of the most beloved British cars ever built. It is the automotive equivalent of a well-made teapot: never flashy, never fashionable for very long, yet quietly impossible to dislike. Morris Minor ? The Official Photo Album is less a conventional history and more a lovingly assembled family album, except the relatives are all wearing chrome grilles and smiling through round headlamps. Drawing upon the remarkable archives of the Heritage Motor Centre, Jon Pressnell presents an extraordinary collection of factory photographs, development images, publicity shots and rarely seen period photographs that capture the Minor throughout its long and distinguished life. It is a visual celebration of a car that somehow managed to transport builders, vicars, newlyweds, travelling salesmen, families of six and at least one Labrador, often simultaneously. The photographs are the real stars here. They preserve an era when cars were proudly displayed outside freshly built housing estates, on spotless suburban driveways and in impossibly optimistic advertising campaigns where every family appeared delighted to be driving through drizzle. There are elegant saloons, practical Travellers, hardworking vans and cheerful convertibles, all presented with the sort of photographic care usually reserved for royalty or endangered wildlife. Jon Pressnell?s accompanying text provides exactly the right balance of historical detail and entertaining insight, explaining how the Minor evolved from post-war necessity into a national institution. Production changes, engineering developments and fascinating snippets of social history are woven together with the photographs, reminding the reader that this wasn?t simply a successful car?it was part of Britain?s recovery, growth and everyday life for more than two decades. Of course, the Morris Minor?s greatest trick was making ordinary motoring seem rather extraordinary. It wasn?t particularly fast, particularly luxurious or particularly expensive, but it possessed a character that modern cars spend millions trying to imitate with heritage editions and nostalgic marketing departments. Somewhere along the way it became less of a vehicle and more of an old friend, which is no mean feat for something assembled largely from steel, bolts and optimism. Our copy is in Fine condition, looking every bit as dignified as the cars filling its pages. The binding is tight, the pages are clean, and it remains a handsome coffee-table volume that you?ll almost certainly open intending to browse for five minutes before emerging an hour later wondering why nobody paints cars in Smoke Grey or Trafalgar Blue anymore. From all of us at Crappy Old Books , where we firmly believe a shelf full of motoring books is cheaper than restoring the actual cars, comes a photographic tribute to one of Britain?s greatest automotive success stories. It may not smell faintly of warm engine oil and damp carpets like a real Morris Minor, but it?s considerably easier to keep in the house. N° de réf. du vendeur 6790
