1925 Morris Oxford 13.9hp Tourer
Registration no. GD 1103
Chassis no. 106261
Engine no. 114436One of the best known and most readily recognised Vintage cars, the 'Bullnose' Oxford had its roots in the Edwardian era. The first examples, fitted with 8.9hp White & Poppe engines, were manufactured in 1913, embodying Morris' successful formula of offering technically unexciting but well built and well equipped cars at a bargain price. The Oxford and its close relation, the Continental-engined Cowley, evolved gradually, both models switching to engines made by Hotchkiss' Coventry subsidiary in 1919. A close copy of the Continental, the Hotchkiss engine was made in 1,548cc, 11.9hp form initially, a larger (1,802cc) 13.9hp version becoming available in 1923. A more conventional flat-fronted radiator replaced the distinctive 'Bullnose' type in late 1926.
This Bullnose has belonged to our vendor since 2015. The previous owner was a regular participant in Bullnose Morris Club events and used the car extensively on rallies before his ill health forced its sale. Credentials checked over by renowned specialists Cookes of Leicester, it represents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to enjoy a proven car benefiting from the larger 13.9hp engine. Benefiting from new interior trim and a new hood, the car is described by the vendor as in good condition throughout and offered with a V5C document.
