Unveiled in 1935, the Morris Eight was better equipped than most of its competitors and boasted electric wipers, synchromesh on the upper two gearbox ratios and effective Lockheed hydraulic brakes. The range included both Two- and Four-Seat Tourers and was powered by a Morris UB series 918 cc four-cylinder side-valve engine with three-bearing crankshaft and single SU carburettor with maximum power of 23. 5 bhp (17. 5 kW).

First registered on 2nd February 1937, this attractive Tourer has been in current ownership since 2016 and has only 2 former keepers recorded on the V5C. Finished in Maroon with a Black hood tonneau, this example is fitted with rare wheel trims and pleasingly still retains its original air filter. The weather gear comprises of the soft-top hood and a set of side screens . Cosmetically, the bodywork has been subject to a repaint in current ownership, whilst mechanically the Tourer is fitted with a 4-speed gearbox, however, the old 3-speed unit accompanies the car to the sale. Also benefitting from a conversion to 12v electrics there is also an electric fuel pump fitted. It is offered with older invoices on file, an old buff logbook, some old MOT history, the original operation manual and the current V5C Registration Document.
