 The
only two seater ohc engined car produced by Morris was the Semi-sports
model. This model was produced only in the 1931 model year (late
1930 - 1931). It has a fabric body and is similar to the MG
Midget produced at the same time. This picture was taken on the
Brooklands banking during a VSCC event. |
 The
£100 Minor was sold as the first true £100 car. To achieve
this price the radiator and windscreen were painted rather than
plated and the side lights were incorporated into the headlamps.
The side valve engine was also an economy measure but some models
of the Minor continued with the ohc engine until 1932. This example
is shown at the top of the Brooklands test hill which is a gradient
of 1 in 4 at its steepest part. |

which, being based on the long wheelbase Family Eight chassis, has
the ohc engine. The Calshot range was built by the Cunard Motor
and Carriage Co. Ltd using Minor, Ten, Oxford and Major chassis. |
