The Morris marque survived 71 years of continuous production, and for 58 of those there was always a model bearing the Oxford badge. The story dates from 1913, when William Morris needed a name for his new product and, adopting and adapting the Oxford City coat of Arms - an Ox above a ford - called it Oxford in recognition of its home city. Three generations were launched between the wars, but it was the MO of 1948 that heralded a degree of technical revolution. Courtesy of Alec Issigonis, it was effectively a larger version of the Minor and featured the same type of novel semi-monocoque construction. A Four-Door Saloon and a Two-Door Estate were offered. This apparently unmolested Saloon hails from 1951 and features Green bodywork teamed with a Green interior. A relatively rare survivor, `USL 847' comes complete with V5C, a good range of original tools and period workshop manual.
