Editing Morris Motors (section)

===Post-Second World War production===

Production restarted after the Second World War, with the pre-war Eight and [[Morris Ten|Ten]] designs. In 1948 the Eight was replaced by what is probably the most famous Morris car, the [[Morris Minor]] designed by [[Alec Issigonis]] (who later went on to design the [[Mini]]) and reusing the small car name from 1928. The Ten was replaced by a new 1948 [[Morris Oxford MO]], styled like a larger version of the Minor. A later Morris Oxford (the 1956 Morris Oxford III) was the basis for the design of India's [[Hindustan Ambassador]], which continued in production until 2014.

They used six engines and five (and a half) car bodies, of which the "specialist" three were obsolescent, the rest very closely related if not identical.
