Morris 

Oxford

1948-1971

De eerste Morris Oxford kwam al in 1913 op de weg. De vooroorlogse modellen werden geproduceerd tot 1935. In 1948 herleefde de naam met de introductie van de MO serie Oxford. Het ontwerp was van Alec Issigonis die later furore zou maken met de Mini.

 

In October 1956 the Series III was announced. The Oxford now had a new fluted bonnet, small rear fins and an optional two-tone paint scheme. Inside the bench seats trimmed in leather remained, but the instrument cluster was revised and a new steering wheel fitted. The engine now produced 55 hp following an increase in compression ratio, though the top speed and acceleration remained the same. A semi-automatic transmission was optional. In 1957, the 'woody' Series III traveller was replaced by the steel-bodied Series IV. In March 1959 the saloon was replaced by the all new Pininfarina styled Series V, the Series IV traveller remained in production until September 1960.
