Morris Eight 1936
Specifications
Description
The 1930s was a decade of massive road building and soaring car ownership and this contender for machine of the decade is one of the great mass-produced, affordable cars of the era.
The challenge for this British car was to be good enough to fight off competition from the well-established Ford models dating back to the Model T (1908-27).
The Series I Morris 8 was introduced in Britain in 1935, the same year as the compulsory driving test, which many people in the 1930's passed in this very car. It's powered by a 918cc four cylinder engine producing 23.5 brake horsepower and a very economical 45mpg.
