1947 Morris 8 Series E 2 Door Sliding Head For Sale

My 1947 Series E is for sale. It was originally restored in the 80's. Its mechanically still good, starts first time every time, but cosmetically there is lots of room for improvement. I've been using it for local runs and the odd commute - it's slow, comfortable and full of post-war utilitarian charm.
I've had it just over a year in which time I've overhauled the steering box, and rear brakes. I have also added the Union Flag boot-lid. The original is included in the sale but needs work.
Please look at the photos - the paint is poor, the seats are worn and the headlining has been nibbled. Rear tyres are tired, fronts are good.
It has been converted to 12v (alternator) and everything works well with the exception of the fuel gauge.
It comes with a record of the original restoration, a tatty owners manual and a very useful photocopied workshop manual. Price is firm. Please email for more details.

I lavished a huge amount of money having the car transformed from, what was pretty much a shell, to this stunning vehicle that you see now. I bought this vehicle noticing that it had never ever been painted. I had most panels replaced, either British ...
