The Series I Morris Eight was unveiled in 1935 as a rival to Ford's hot-selling Model Y. It was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on its upper two gearbox ratios and Lockheed hydraulic brakes. Its value-for-money, no-nonsense design did much for the company's coffers and allowed it to regain its position as Britain's premier motor manufacturer. The Series II version of 1938 brought only a few minor changes - e.g. painted rather than plated radiator surrounds and disc rather than wire spoke road wheels. Some 54,000 were produced before the Series II was supplanted by the radically different-looking Series E. The Series II on offer has remained in its current ownership since 2006 and is resplendent in two-tone Blue and Black paintwork and Blue interior trim. It appears remarkably original and is offered complete with V5C and a selection of old MOTs.
