Welcome
L
aunched at the 1948 London Motor Show, both the Jaguar XK120 and the Morris
Minor MM caused big waves at their respective ends of the motoring spectrum. The
sleek Jaguar stole the show with its dramatic lines that must have seemed
otherworldly at a time when the future and how it might truly look was only starting
to percolate through to everyday living.
Equally, and some might argue, more importantly, the Morris Minor MM offered the
man in the street, the demobbed soldier, the aspiring family man, a glimpse of personal
freedom, perhaps for the very ﬁrst time . Both cars carried innovations that surely brewed in
the minds of their designers while the world was hard at war.
65 years later, the affection and status both cars hold in our quiet (£4 billion-plus and
counting, Mr Treasurer) backwater extends to casual passers by of either car. It’s easy to be
seduced by the rarity and value of the XK120 while forgetting its engineering prowess,
likewise the rarity, charm and clever construction of the unitary Morris still entrance those
who appreciate such delights.
And knowing that either car can be appreciated on either a superﬁcial or more informed
level is what allows them to transcend 1948 and still stir the emotions of our modern age.
An age when engineers are told not to design cars that last too long.
Here’s to the Spirit of ‘48!
All the best,
