The Oxford and its close relation, the Continental-engined Cowley, evolved gradually, both models switching to engines made by Hotchkiss' Coventry subsidiary in 1919
A close copy of the Continental, the Hotchkiss engine was made in 1, 548cc, 11. 9hp form initially, a larger (1, 802cc) 13. 9hp version becoming available in 1923
This delightful 13. 9hp Oxford Tourer has a known history going back to the 1970s when a full restoration was undertaken
Recently been fitted with a new hood and internal trim and a new clutch fitted by marque specialists, Cookes of Leicester
Interestingly the brass bulkhead plaque bears the description 'Type M. O. 14/ 28', the same designation used for the first MGs built in late 1924
Well known and active within the Bullnose Morris Club, this versatile Oxford has enjoyed a quiet life recently, however with a plethora of VSCC events scheduled for this autumn and winter, this smart 13. 9 would make an ideal entry into the fun world of vintage motoring
