Bicycle manufacturer William Morris introduced his first car. br/>the 'Bullnose' Oxford. in 1913. starting a tradition of Morris
Oxfords that was to continue on and off right up until 1971. With
an enviable reputation for reliability and quality. by the end of
the 1920s Morris had become Britain's largest car manufacturer
holding a 51% share of its home market. Although smaller models
such as the Minor and the Ten was the mainstay of the range. Morris
also maintained an interest in the larger cars. A completely new
car was announced for 1934 with a longer and stronger chassis with
flexible mounting for the 2002cc engine. The gearbox gained
synchromesh. Initially it kept the Six name (reflecting the number
of cylinders in the engine) but this changed to Sixteen (which came
from the car's tax horsepower category) in 1935 when it was joined
by the 2561cc Twenty. It was replaced by the Fourteen / Sixteen /
Eighteen range in 1935 and the Oxford name disappeared until
1948.

The vendor purchased this 1934 Morris Oxford Twenty in its present
condition in 2011 from a collector who had it for over twenty five
years and had started to carry out a full restoration. The engine
is free and the owner tells us that it span over easily the last
time he tried it. The car appears to be complete but requires
extensive work to the body if it was going to be retained. This
Morris Oxford is supplied with a V5C registration document showing
that the registration number JG 4843 which is transferable. a
recent number plate valuation of £3. 00 for the number. 'buff' log
book. original handbook and some photographs which were taken in
the 1970's. A very rare opportunity to purchase the largest Morris
from this period. with a sound chassis and running gear which is a
good basis for any restoration.
