July 27 2009:
Morris Oxford

view map

Brookwood, Surrey

I always get a bit of a thrill seeing a pre 1968 car 'in the wild' as opposed to being exhibted in some way. This old Morris Oxford, dating from about 1949 was outside a repair shop and was lacking a bonnet (a hood to some of you). It is not on the DVLA database so cannot be roadworthy - I get the impression it may have been in store for quite a while!

My husband's Grandfather drove one. It was black & shiny & never failed him.

Oh, what a great old find! Hey if they have insurance they can get the repairs approved! Love this!

Hopefully it will be back on the road soon.
The treatment really suits the subject matter.
