An estate version of the Morris Minor, known as the Traveller, was introduced in 1953. The Traveller featured half-timbered bodywork - a structural part of the body.

The original Minor Traveller had the same 803 cc engine and split windscreen as the Series II Minor saloon but it was progressively updated in line with other Minors. In 1956, it became the Minor 1000 Traveller, with a one-piece curved windscreen and a 948 cc engine. In 1962, the 1098cc engine was introduced.

The car shown is a later model, continuing in production until 1971 - even after the saloon had been discontinued. Of the total number of 1.6 million Morris Minors made from 1948 to 1971, more than 200,000 were Travellers.
