DESCRIPTION

  • William Morris' sturdy and affordable Cowley and Oxford models helped change British motoring from an elitist pastime to transport for the masses and therefore hold an important place in automotive history
  • In September 1926, Morris unveiled the Bullnose's successor, the 'Flatnose', which drew heavily on the design of its much-loved 'Bullnose' predecessor
  • Built on a light yet sturdy leaf-sprung ladder chassis and powered by a choice of two torquey four-cylinder side-valve engines (11.9/13.9HP) mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox
  • First registered in 1928, the vehicle appears to have had a restoration at some point in its life
  • Now finished in cream over black with a Bordeaux red leather interior and matching door cards and carpets, it sits on cream painted artillery wheels
  • We are sure that this charismatic old Oxford will provide miles of entertaining motoring whilst the new owner writes the next chapter of its life
