Manufacturer description

Our Morris Eight E series Tourer from the late 1930s makes its latest appearance in a rich Oxford blue with grey seating and ivory tonneau cover. Registered FF 5796 and built to carry four people, our 2-door open version sports dark blue wheels with silver hub caps, silvered radiator grille, with additional silver finish to bumpers, door handles and headlights - and even the Morris emblem on the front of the bonnet.

During its production life from 1938-1948, over 120,000 E Series Tourers were made by Morris in the UK but its popularity in Australia saw it in production well after that.
