1938 Morris Eight | Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

A 1938 Morris Eight, the small pre-war family car that was Morris's answer to the Ford Model Y. Its sales helped the company regain its place as Britain's largest car maker. This one is a Series II, the version that kept the earlier engine and running gear before the Series E restyle arrived in October 1938. This car is green outside and green inside, a matching scheme that sits well against brick, stone or open countryside. It is in excellent condition and seats two. Its small, upright pre-war shape leaves plenty of room in shot for the location around it. Its modest late-1930s British character suits period film and television dressing, and its colour and shape work for heritage photography and fashion and editorial shoots. At vintage-themed events it sets the scene without dominating it. It also makes a gentle choice for a wedding or a personal hire. The car is based in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.
