Description
1932 Morris Flat-nose Morris Cowley -Two-Seater with Dickey Seat
Two Town Green and Black.
This Morris Cowley started life in West Yorkshire and still retains its original Huddersfield registration mark VH 4320.
On the dashboard is the supplying dealer’s enamel plaque from David Rosenfield Ltd of Victoria Street Manchester, a well-known motor dealership, who became a subsidiary of Henlys Ltd.
During WWII the Morris was owned by a pilot based on a Yorkshire airfield and was stored in a local farmers barn whilst the owner was away on operational duties. Sadly the pilot was killed in action, and the car purchased by the farmer from the airman’s parents.
By 1979 the Morris was found in a shed in Thaxted, Essex in need of complete restoration. The two seater Cowley was then completely stripped down to the chassis and rebuilt over the course of 1979. The car then won its class in a Morris Register National event and over forty years on since the restoration the Cowley presents well as a strong, robust, well sorted older restoration.
The workmanship from 1979 was carried out to a very high standard as not only has the car survived four decades since rebuild, but it still looks lovely with an authentic period patina. Leather seats and all door cards in excellent condition. Dicky seat in vinyl.
Good hood, side screens, hood cover and side screen bag.(All mohair type not vinyl
Wire wheels, hydraulic brakes. Running well, recent new plugs, lubrication service and engine oil change.
Runs well, and a delight to drive.
Instruments work with the exception of the oil pressure gauge, quote obtained for repair (£100) but don’t want to take the car off the road for the summer (six week lead time on repair).
Good history and some basic spares. File of History and old MOTs etc.
