The nascent Morris Motors had offered a commercial derivative of its first passenger car, the Oxford, prior to WWI but it was not until the early 1920s that a serious attempt was made to grab a slice of the light van market, with Morris Commercials being formed
Early 1933 saw the announcement of the new C-Type, available with four and six-cylinder petrol engines and this wonderful truck was available as a dropside lorry, light van and even a 5th wheel Tractor type designed to tow long trailers
First registered in 1933, this 13ft dropside has been subject to a full restoration between 2004-2006 and has seen very little use since, spending its time in Collections and coming out for shows
Powered by 3, 485cc four-cylinder rated at 24. 8bhp coupled to a manual gearbox with 'normal' control
Finished in traditional green, sitting on matching green wheels, with the drop-sides and rear sign-written and the tidy interior finished in tan vinyl
Supplied with numerous invoices, previous photographs, handwritten correspondence and notes
In Collections for many years enjoying the occasional trip out to a show, it is ideal for Historic Commercial Vehicle runs, County fares and could even be used as was originally intended
