1932 Morris Major 6 Coupe

1932 Morris Major Coupé The Morris company was based in Oxford and was involved in the manufacture of motorcars from 1913 onwards. The Morris Major “6” Coupe was very expensive when new and few of those manufactured have survived, with perhaps no more than six existing, making this a rare car indeed. It is beautifully appointed with a walnut veneered wooden dashboard and door cappings. The trim is leather with an opening windshield and large opening sunroof. There is a luggage trunk at the rear and the spare wheel is mounted on the nearside fender. This car was completely restored some twenty years ago, and it is still in very good condition bodily. It’s painted in very dark burgundy red with black fenders and black fabric above the waistline of the body. The interior is in the original burgundy red leather which is still in very good condition, With the six-cylinder engine the car has plenty of torque and is able to pull away at low speeds in top gear. All the original tools are with the car.
