About this car

A 1938 Morris Eight Series II in open tourer form, the sort of small pre-war family car that brought motoring to a wide audience in Britain. This one rides on pressed steel wheels.

It is an older restoration. The paint is described as generally good, the body and chassis as sound, and the hood as good. The chrome and interior trim are rated only fair, so expect some age in the details. Mechanically it is described as good and it drives well.

The car has been in the same family for many years. No mileage or registration is given on the listing.
