1927 Morris Flatnose Simplified Cowley 3 seat dickey convertible For Sale

1927 Morris Cowley Flatnose Simplified Two-Seater & Dickey Convertible

See our listing : - details above

The Simplified Cowley… Extremely rare in the UK - this car came from Australia

Comfortable 3-seater with attractive royal blue glass sun visor.

In 1927-8 William Morris returned briefly to a previously unsuccessful sales idea, that of additionally offering a basic no frills Cowley without the optional extras.

This was known as the “Simplified” or “Plain” Cowley. These cars came without front brakes, shock absorbers, spring gaitors, headlights, temperature gauge, clock, speedometer, wipers, horn or rear view mirror. The saving was £11. 50 and you could only have a blue one in 1927 or a grey one in 1928. You can guess that this one was and is one of the blue ones being a 1927 car!

The bodywork actually makes provision for sleeping in the car by removing the front seat back in order to stretch out with driver and passenger feet into the Dickey seat area, so it is not strictly a dickey but could easily be converted. The thinking is that if one was caught out in the Australian bush, two people could easily sleep in the car overnight.

The present owner purchased this car in October 2014 with a view to using it in VSCC Light Car and Edwardian Section events (LCES) but has only lent it on one occasion to a friend for the annual Spring Welsh Light Car event in 2015. I was on the event in another car and saw this Morris happily competing, having been driven to Wales and back to the New Forest.

Sadly, due to the elderly owner’s health, he has been unable to enjoy the car as he had hoped, and consequently this car is now offered for sale.
