Seller's comments about 1937' Morris Eight
937 Morris 8 Series II Tourer – A Stunning Example of Britain’s Favourite Pre-War ClassicAt Hardy Classics, we have handled many Morris 8s over the years, but this 1937 Series II Tourer is, without doubt, the finest example we have had the pleasure of offering. A true credit to its previous owner, this "Gorgeous" convertible represents a rare opportunity to own a highly sorted, turn-key entry into the world of vintage and veteran motoring.The Morris Eight was the car that put Britain on wheels in the 1930s, and this Series II model—with its refined styling and improved features—is widely considered the ultimate iteration for the modern collector.Bodywork & Exterior ConditionWhile many pre-war cars suffer from neglected timber, this Morris stands out for its exceptional structural integrity.Solid Foundation: The all-important wooden frame is in excellent condition with no "door drop," ensuring the doors shut with a perfect, satisfying click.Paint & Chrome: The paintwork is stunning and presents beautifully, with only the most minor age-related marks that do nothing to detract from its "show-standard" appearance.Refurbished Brightwork: The wheels have been professionally refurbished, fitted with new hubcaps and a fresh set of tires that look like they’ve barely seen the road.Safety First: Discreet aftermarket indicators have been fitted, making the car much safer and easier to navigate on modern roads without spoiling its classic silhouette.Mechanical HighlightsUnder the bonnet, this Morris is as tidy as it is on the outside. It features the reliable 918cc side-valve engine, known for its simplicity and ease of maintenance.The 6V Solution: One of the most practical upgrades on this car is the clever dual-battery system. One battery is dedicated to starting and the other to running, solving the common "slow-start" issues often found on original 6V systems.Road Ready: It starts on the button, runs smoothly, and is exceptionally easy to drive. With its light steering and surprisingly roomy cabin, it’s a car that can be enjoyed by drivers of all sizes.Interior & Weather GearThe cockpit has been beautifully refurbished, offering a touch of luxury that many Eights lack.Upholstery: The interior features high-quality materials with beautiful custom stitching on the door cards and exceptionally clean carpets.All-Weather Motoring: The car comes complete with a full set of wet-weather gear, including a durable vinyl hood (in great condition with no rips) and a full set of side screens.Practicality: A rear-mounted trunk is fitted, providing the perfect space for tools or a picnic basket for those summer rallies.SummaryThe 1937 Morris 8 Series II is the perfect "starter classic." It offers the charm of the 1930s with mechanical simplicity that won't break the bank. Whether you are looking to join the Morris Register, attend 1940s weekends, or simply enjoy a "tootle" to the local pub, this car is ready to go.Viewing by appointment only at our Durham base.Delivery Service: We offer a personal delivery service anywhere in the UK subject to our terms and conditions
