1 of 6

Rob Naish, a car restorer at Charles Ware's Morris Minor Centre, helps prepare a partly restored 60-year-old 1948 Morris Minor, which is being transported to a motor show this weekend to celebrate the marquees 60th anniversary on June 20 2008 in Bristol, England. The rare car, one of the oldest left, will form part of a display by the Bristol based Morris Minor Centre - which has restored Morris Minors since the 1970s - at the Morris Minor Owners Club 2008 Rally at Stanford Hall, Leicestershire. Cars and motor enthusiasts from all over the world are expected to attend the event to celebrate the launch of the Morris Minor 60 years ago at the 1948 Motor Show. The revolutionary car was designed by Alec Issigonis, who later designed the Mini, and was built from 1948 to 1971 by the Morris Motor Company, quickly becoming one of the icons of British post-war motoring.
