Morris Minor Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1952–1956) — Second Generation
The second-generation Morris Minor is a compact British sedan built around simplicity. Its modest mechanicals and light weight suit relaxed town driving, and the layout remains easy for owners and workshops to understand today.
The Morris Minor engine range stays small and gasoline-fed, illustrated by the 0.8 MT sedan. That powertrain pairs a manual gearbox with rear-wheel drive, so you shift for yourself and feel the drivetrain respond directly. Expect unhurried acceleration, low running costs and straightforward servicing rather than outright speed.
