Morris Mini Mk II

Morris Mini Mk II. 1967–70 (prod. 429,000 for all Mini Mk IIs). 2-door saloon, 2-door estate (plus two rear doors). F/F, 848, 998, 1275 cm³ (4 cyl. OHV). Indistinguishable other than badging from Austin Mini Mk II; comments there apply equally here. However, more Morris Minis were built by BMC’s Spanish licensee Authi, with slightly different model range from UK including higher-spec 1275C model (the C did not stand for Cooper) and 1000E (with Riley-style full-width wooden dashboard). Authi Minis dropped Morris badge in 1970, though the marque began disappearing from brochures in 1969.
