Manufacturer description

The Morris Eight Series E represented a major upgrade of the original Series Eight model and was produced between 1938 and 1948, during which time over 120,000 were sold. It came in several formats and our Oxford version is based on the 4-door saloon, registered AVV 361. Designwise, the series E was longer, wider and heavier with internal refinements like a parcel tray the length of the dashboard and an inbuilt luggage compartment. The car had a four speed gearbox with synchromesh in 2nd, 3rd and top gear and had a top speed of 58 mph.

The 1:76 scale Oxford replica is decorated in bright red with black masking to wings, wheel arches and wheel rims, with additional trim in silver. The interior is dark red, rounding off a vehicle which spanned the immediate pre-World War II period through to the late 1940s.
