1938 MORRIS 8
918cc, manual. This Morris 8 Tourer is received a professional bodywork restoration in the 1980s, and a further restoration around 2004. Records show that it was MoT tested annually from then until its last test in 2012-13. The car is equipped with a heater from a Morris Minor, and an electric water pump, and its electrics have been converted from 6v to 12v.
The vendor has owned it since 2020 and driven it once, about 20 miles. He advises that petrol is stale, so fresh fuel will need to be flushed through the system, and the wiring for the indicators requires some attention. The folding roof is described as “excellent”.
The Morris comes with a few letters and details from previous owners about its history, together with its latest sales invoice for £12k in 2020, a technical manual, previous and current versions of the V5C, and a buff continuation logbook from the 1960s when the car was registered in Berkshire. The current V5C shows 2 former keepers, and the odometer indicates 83,363 miles.
The registration number is non-transferable.
