1935 Morris 8

This is a photograph that I took at a car show in Ashton-under-Lyne in March 1987.

It's a 1935 Morris 8 and has a 4-cylinder inline 918cc side-valve engine. Over 160,000 of these cars were produced between 1935 and 1937 and they were produced in saloon and open tourer versions. The DVLA record says that it has been untaxed since February 1994.

Ashton-under-Lyne Car Show 12 Aug 2012

I had a trip to Ashton on Sunday morning to catch the first hour or so of the Ashton-under-Lyne Classic Car Show organised by the Tame Valley Vintage and Classic Car Club. There are a series of photographs of the event on their website and here are a few of my own.
