1939 Morris 8 Series E | Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire

A 1939 Morris 8 Series E, the restyled small family car Morris announced in October 1938. It is known for its waterfall grille, headlamps set into the wings and a body wider and longer than the car it replaced. Under the bonnet sits a 918cc side-valve engine, which gives it a pre-war mechanical character. This car is blue with a cream interior, a soft pairing that sits well against brick, stone and painted shopfronts. With the running boards gone, the sides stay clean and uncluttered, and the compact body leaves the surroundings visible in shot. Advertising, film and television work suit it because the 1938 restyle gives a clear pre-war look. Photography and fashion or editorial shoots can set the blue and cream against 1930s streets and interiors. It also makes a restrained vintage arrival for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire.
