Due to ill health Mrs. Stevenson sold the car to a good friend, a Dr. Fishlock, on the 4nd February1982. Unfortunately Dr. Fishlock had to sell the car 2 years later on the 2nd April 1984. At this time the car had only run 17.453 miles. The new owner, a Mr.Newell, kept the car until the 18th May 1992, with 27.900 miles on the clock. He then sold it to an elderly gent and bought it back 5 years later at 29.900 miles! In 1998 he had the car taken back to metal and re-sprayed in its original colour scheme. He had kept the car for more than 21 years in all, when he sold it to Dutchman with 31.831 miles on the clock.

About Morris
The history of Morris Motors spans several decades and includes the production of various iconic models that left a significant mark on the automotive industry in Britain. From its inception to its eventual integration into the British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC), Morris played a crucial role in shaping the everyday motoring experiences of countless Britons.Founding Years (1912-1920s): William Morris established Morris Motors Limited in 1912. The company initially produced affordable vehicles, including the Morris Oxford and Morris Cowley, which were known for their reliability and became popular choices among the working class.
Interwar Period (1930s): The 1930s saw Morris introducing significant models like the Morris Eight, a small car that became widely popular due to its affordability, reliability, and ease of use. The Morris Ten also gained attention during this era.
Post-World War II (1940s-1950s): After World War II, Morris introduced models like the Morris Minor in 1948. The Minor was a revolutionary small car with modern features, spacious interiors, and became a British motoring icon.
Expansion and Merger (1960s): During the 1960s, Morris was part of a series of mergers that formed the British Motor Corporation (BMC). Models like the Morris Mini, launched in 1959, became an international sensation and an emblem of British design and engineering.
British Leyland Era (1970s): In 1968, BMC merged with Leyland Motors to form British Leyland Motor Corporation (BLMC). Morris continued to produce several models during this period, but the brand began to lose its individual identity within the larger conglomerate.
Important Morris Models:
Morris Oxford (1913)
Morris Cowley (1915)
Morris Eight (1935)
Morris Ten (1933)
Morris Minor (1948)
Morris Mini (1959)
Morris Marina (1971)
Morris Ital (1980)
Throughout its history, Morris produced cars that catered to the needs of the average Briton. Their vehicles were known for being reliable, practical, and often affordable, making them a common sight on British roads for many years.
However, by the late 1970s and early 1980s, British Leyland faced financial difficulties and issues with quality control, leading to a decline in the reputation of Morris and other brands under its umbrella. The Morris brand eventually phased out with the reorganization of British Leyland, as the company shifted focus and streamlined its product lines.
Despite its eventual decline, Morris played a vital role in shaping the motoring landscape in Britain and left a legacy with several models that became ingrained in the memories of generations of British motorists.
