The Morris Garages moved to buildings in Alfred Lane, Oxford in March 1921. An autonomous section of the main Morris company, the garage specialised in the servicing and maintenance of Morris and other makes and when asked, also provided special bodies on the standard Morris Cowley chassis
In 1923, Morris Motors commissioned the building of a lightweight, more sporting model of the Morris Cowley with two seats, aluminium bodywork and a pointed tail
They were to be known as the Cowley Sports and we understand that 107 were built in total. They bear a striking resemblance to the first MG (Morris Garages), the 14/ 28, which appeared the following year
This example has been in current ownership since 1971, underwent a restoration in the early 1970s and has been largely unused since
According to our vendor the car has 'recently been fired up by specialists' and is running and driving
A potential entry into Vintage Car Club and Bullnose Morris events and given its rarity, we imagine would be welcome anywhere
