Designed by Alec Issigonis, it was designed in the post-war period to be an economical family car and was the first British car to surpass one million units produced.
It became a symbol of British culture, characterized by excellent visibility, maneuverability, and independent suspension that provided agile driving.
In 1964, its version came with larger headlights, combined with turn signals, a one-piece curved windscreen, and an updated interior finish.
Assembled in the United Kingdom, this model features a 4-cylinder engine, a rounded body and oval headlights.
The beige colour contrasts with that of its interior, gaining, at the same time, a sublime and discreet style.
It continues to be synonymous with the history and culture of a country, associated with immense driving pleasure.
Under registration number MD-42-45, it was imported from Jersey in 2017 and now belongs to Susana Vilhena de Mendonça, since 2024.
Currently, the vehicle is used on weekends for family outings.
