Launched in August 1932, the new Morris 'Ten' could be had in either Saloon or Special Fixed Head Coupe guises (though, other body styles soon joined the model range). Another best seller for William Morris's company, its appeal to 1930s motorists was much the same as it is for today's enthusiasts. A simple yet well-crafted design, its leaf-sprung ladder chassis was powered by a 1292cc side-valve, four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Reputedly capable of over 60mph, it came with four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes as standard. Comfortable but agile it provided affordable motoring with a minimum of compromise and plentiful charm. Progressively developed, the 'Ten' - or 10/4 as it became known - gained such niceties as a new chassis (Series II) and overhead valve conversion (Series III) not to mention various styling changes before making way for the all new, unitary construction Ten Series M during August 1938.

Manufactured in 1936, this Morris was supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 18^th of January the subsequent year. Fitted with the 1292cc four-cylinder side-valve engine allied to the four-speed manual transmission, the Morris is finished in two-tone Blue and Black paintwork. In long-term previous ownership from 1959 until 2011, ‘CJH 913’ spent from 1973 in storage, remaining there until the purchase by the previous keeper in 2011. Entering into current ownership in 2013, the restoration on the Morris started in 2016 with much of the required restoration work already completed. The vendor rates the engine and paintwork as ‘very good’ and the bodywork and gearbox as ‘good’ with the wiring and interior areas that still require restoration. ‘CJH 913’ is offered with receipts relating to the work completed already, a Green-style buff logbook, and a current V5C document.
