Pitman's
Motorists' Library
The Book of the Morris Minor 1000
(All models to 1960)
By Staton Abbey
I
bought this book for £10 at the 1999 Motorsport
Show in Birmingham, England. It's part of the Pitman's
Motorists' Library and is a detailed handbook for the
owners of the 948cc Minor 1000, although there is no reason
why any Minor owner shouldn't find it useful. It is an
interesting look at how Minors were used and maintained
back in the days when Minors were still being made. I
have reproduced here several chapters that I found interesting,
since most of the other chapters are simply detailed stripdown
and rebuild instructions which can be found in any number
of current publications (see the Books
page).
Of
