The 1919 Oxford was assembled from locally made components and now took on the rather more substantial aspect of 1915's Cowley. Longer and stronger than the old Oxford, enough to carry five passengers, the new Oxford retained the pre-war Bullnose radiator style in its larger version. From August 1919, the Cowley became the downmarket "no frills" variant with only a 2-seater body and lighter smaller tyres. The Oxford had a self-starter (an extra for the Cowley) and a better electrical system and the Oxford took and kept the Cowley's leather upholstery.
The new car's 11.9 fiscal horsepower 1548 cc engine was made under licence in Coventry for Morris by a British branch of Hotchkiss the French ordnance company which was turning away from guns to the motor industry. The Hotchkiss engine used the Cowley's Detroit USA Continental Motors Company design. Hotchkiss prices well undercut White and Poppe who had made Oxford engines up to that time. Morris bought Hotchkiss's British factory in May 1923 and named it Morris Engines.
This 1921 Morris Bullnose Two Seater open tourer is described by the vendor to be in very good condition and to have been fully restored by the previous owner. The car runs well on its 11.9 Horse Power engine and drives as it should. Coming with the original Buff logbook supplied by Lancaster County Council and issued to a Mr Thomas Dixon of Clitheroe. The new V5C shows three former keepers. A great car ready for the vintage car show season.
