On MOCpages, Firas Abu-Jaber posted this Lego Morris Minor Hotrod. He wrote,

"The Morris Minor was a British economy car that debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show, London, on 20 September 1948. Designed under the leadership of Alec Issigonis, over 1.3 million examples were manufactured from 1948-1971. Initially available as a 2-door saloon and tourer (convertible), the range was subsequently expanded to include a 4-door saloon in 1950 and wood-framed estate (the Traveller), panel van and pick-up truck variants in 1952.

The Minor was manufactured in three series, Series I, Series II (1952) and finally the 1000 series (1956). One author described the Minor as typifying “Englishness.”

Eleven pictures appear on his Flickr photostream.

"I would like to thank the great group LUGNuts for this amazing challenge; it was a lot of fun to build this model, and definitely build a classic car again.

Hope you like it, thanks for visiting my page.

P.S. Thanks for my friend Bricksonwheels for the great chrome rims :)"

This is an excellent creation. I particularly like the overall look of it, the shape and details of the car are great.
