1936 MORRIS 10
This fantastic Morris 10/4 comes with a superb history file that includes its original invoice, showing that PV 3339 was first purchased for £173 10s in Ipswich in July 1936, finished in the same colours we see today: black and blue, with blue upholstery. It was reportedly restored in the 1980s and remains in impressive condition. The vendor purchased it at our August sale last year, and reports that it “runs and drives well”.
Receipts and stamped service booklets show a fastidious regime of care throughout its early decades, and by 1980 the car had apparently covered only 51k miles. It appears to have had very little usage since then, and has recently been part of a pre-War collection. The paperwork suggests that its indicated 55,339 miles could be genuine.
The car comes with a fascinating collection of period documentation, including the original guarantee certificates (still in their original envelope with George VI postmark), AA route book and a Police Notice regarding the screening of headlamps during WWII. The history file also includes sales brochures, old tax discs and period operations manual. First registration was on 11th July 1936.
