SUMMARY
Fully refurbished to an outstanding level and a true delight to drive.
DESCRIPTION
- Introduced during 1913, the basic Morris Bullnose design lasted until 1926 by which time its variants accounted for an impressive 45% of new car sales in the UK
- The Cowley was powered by a four-cylinder side-valve engine displacing 1,548cc and rated at 11.9bhp, driving through a cork clutch and a 3-speed gearbox.
- This lovely four-seater tourer was fully restored some years ago and remains very impressive
- More recent works include a complete engine overhaul and a fresh interior retrim
- We understand from our knowledgeable vendor that, as well as being a bit of a 'head turner', this venerable Bullnose is an absolute delight to drive
- An outstanding rebuild that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated
