1913 Morris Oxford

This is a photograph that I took before the start of the Lancashire Automobile Club’s Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in June 1977.

It’s a 1913 Morris Oxford and the programme of the event had this note about the car:

 

22      H. Marquis, Lytham

           1913 Morris 9 H.P. 4 Cylinders

Reputed to be the oldest Morris in private hands, this is the fiftieth car made by Morris Motors. It is painted in the same manner as one given by William Morris to his wife.

Morris Oxford

I photographed this car on the Exchange Station car park at the start of the Manchester to Blackpool Veteran and Vintage Car Run in May 1992.

The programme of the event unfortunately only gives the basic ownership details:

76   1926 Morris Oxford Cabriolet
       David H Bond, Over Hulton, Bolton

There's a bit of information about the 1926 Morris Oxford, however, commonly known as the 'Bullnose', on this record in the Morris Register.
