1935 Morris 8 Saloon

1935 Morris 8 Saloon – 934cc – 42,600 Miles – Photographic Rebuild History Here’s a lovely example of pre-war British motoring at its most charming — a 1935 Morris 8 Saloon, finished in the kind of period styling that never stops turning heads at classic shows. First introduced in 1935, the Morris 8 was a car designed to bring affordable, reliable motoring to the masses. Built at Cowley under the watchful eye of Lord Nuffield himself, it became a familiar sight on British roads through the late 1930s. The 8 was Morris’s answer to the Austin Seven but came with a more refined engine — this one sporting the original 934cc four-cylinder — offering smooth and dependable performance for the era. What we’ve got here is a beautifully presented car, clearly cherished throughout its 89 years, now showing just 42,600 miles. Crucially, this example benefits from a comprehensive photographic rebuild, documenting its careful restoration step by step. — it’s the kind of car that tells its own story the minute you open the door. Slide into the driver’s seat and it’s like stepping into a different era: big thin-rimmed steering wheel, Bakelite switches, leather bench seats — all exactly how it should be. These cars are incredibly engaging to drive, with a real mechanical feel and a surprising amount of charm at low speeds. Whether you’re looking to relive childhood memories, show something genuinely unique at local classic meets, or just fancy something a little different from the usual MGB and Morris Minor crowd — this Morris 8 fits the bill. It’s ideal for someone who wants a no-nonsense classic that draws conversation without being a handful to own. Tax and MOT exempt, of course, and running sweetly. Cars like this aren’t about speed — they’re about stories, community, and preserving something special. Bring a folding chair, a flask, and some period picnic gear — you’ll be smiling every Sunday. One of our Directors collection so well loved and in great company.
