It is probably one of the most charming cars that I’ve ever photographed. It wasn’t just the general feel of the day, the weather, the ambiance or what have you – this little car is just a wonderful thing.
Molly and I set out one morning earlier this month to shoot the car at our usual haunt. The leaves were damp and amber, the chill hung in the air and the the sun would make brief and fleeting appearances through the sparse trees but it was all ok, we had a Morris 8.
A car that was somewhat instrumental in getting Britain on the road, much like the Austin 7, the Tourer was by far the most elegant of the offerings. This one, is no exception. With a hearty serving of double green in its interior and paint work, only broken up with the luxurious black wings, our 1939 Morris 8 just has a way about itself. Not only does it look glamorous, it drives beautifully too.
Fitted with a (speaking in 2024) small 914cc engine, but a 4-speed manual gearbox, the little Morris 8 happily plugs along down a British country road without a care in the world. Recently restored by its previous owner of nearly 30 years, the car feels composed and inspires a confidence in your drive. Are you going to get their quickly? No, but you will find yourself lost in a daydream as you soak up the sights and sounds that surround you inside of its cabin.
No matter your taste in classic cars, a small, fun, lightweight, quirky and sweet prewar convertible should always be on your list… and this one could be yours just in time for Christmas.
Scheduled to be drawn on Christmas eve by the team here at Bridge Classic Cars, our 1939 Morris 8 Tourer has just gone live for everyone to enter.
When shooting our 1939 Morris 8 it was extremely cold but luckily I had my toasty warm faux fur coat! We were lucky enough to again be able to use the beautiful Pettistree House as a back drop for this gorgeous car. This classic was an absolute pleasure to drive. Even though its from 1939 it has been extremely cared for and runs like a dream. It’s going to be a wonderful addition to someone’s driveway.
