Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is great example of a post-war Morris 8 Series E. The car is finished in Maroon over Black, complemented by a Red leather interior. The vehicle is in good overall condition, while also retaining a nice ‘original feel’ patina. Maintenance: This Morris 8 Series E comes with a substantial history file which includes invoices totaling nearly £3,000 for parts, labour, and servicing. Additionally, there are MOT certificates dating back to 1989, highlighting the car’s well-documented upkeep over the years. Also included in the file is the original green logbook, the ever desirable heritage certificate confirming it as a home market, matching numbers, RHD example, a Morris 8 Series E brochure, and an original service manual. The Model: The Morris Eight, produced by Morris Motors from 1935 to 1948, is a small family car inspired by the popular Ford Model Y. The Series E, introduced in October 1938, featured a major restyle with a distinctive “waterfall” dummy grille, headlights integrated into the wings, and the removal of running boards. The Series E was longer, wider, and heavier, contributing to its success and helping Morris regain its position as Britain’s largest motor manufacturer. Sale Insight: The Vendor has decided to part with this beautiful Morris 8 Series E in order to slim down his collection. This well-documented and well-maintained example offers a unique opportunity to own a post-war classic in good order. |
