About this car

A 1925 Morris Cowley 'Bullnose' tourer with an unusual back story. It was found after the Second World War abandoned in a field, working as a flatbed farm truck with no rear seats. It was bought with many of its parts in tea chests, and restoration began in the late 1960s under the present owner.

Factory records studied by the president of the Bullnose Morris Club identified it as a four-seater, and it was finished as one around 1973. Since then it has been rallied with the Bean Car Club and the Bullnose Morris Club, toured in Spain, Germany, Holland, France and Switzerland, and used as a wedding car.

The engine has the optional Oxford bore rather than the Cowley bore. This gives a turbulent head and, according to the page, more speed than is usual for the model.
