Oxford Diecast Smoke Grey Morris Traveller

The Morris Traveller was an estate car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1953 to 1971. It was based on the Morris Minor saloon car, and was one of the most popular estate cars in the UK during its production run.

The Traveller was notable for its wooden frame for the rear bodywork. This frame was made from ash wood, and was varnished rather than painted. The frame was a highly visible feature of the car, and gave it a distinctive appearance.

Travellers were built alongside the saloon model at Cowley, minus their rear bodies. The half-completed cars were then shipped to the MG factory at Abingdon, where the bodies (built in Coventry) would be mated to the chassis and the final assembly carried out.

In 1969, production of the Traveller variants was moved to the ex-Wolseley plant at Adderley Park, where the van and pick-up models were already made. This freed up production space at Cowley and simplified the production chain as the Traveller's rear bodies were built at the Morris Bodies factory in Coventry. Adderley Park-built Travellers were offered in a new range of colours from the paint range that had been introduced for 1970, including vibrant shades such as Limeflower (lime green) and Aqua (turquoise).

It was powered by the same A-series engines as the saloon car and were known for their reliability and economy. The Traveller was also relatively spacious, and could comfortably carry four adults and their luggage.

Production of the Traveller ceased in 1971, but it remains a popular classic car today. It is a well-loved British icon, and is known for its charming appearance, practicality, and reliability.
