1954 MORRIS OXFORD FROM OXFORD UK-OXFORD NZ -OXFORD UK

[Electron1944]

Austin, Morris, Riley and Wolseley had very similar bodywork especially when they changed to the later version as in the red one here. My Oxford was HD 9540, funny how you always remember your first. I later bought an Austin A55 van which was even better for dating and handled and sounded like being in a car due to rubber sealing between the panels. HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!! Road Tax £6/8/- for four months and 4 star at 2/10p a GALLON with a new set of four Champion plugs at £1 i.e. 5/- each.

I bought one of the earlier ones with the split windscreen and a big lazy 1600cc sidevalve engine. The front and rear bench seats were great for courting but the column change was a bit dangerous on these encounters if you parked with it in reverse, haha. Only drawback with these was the front suspension torsion bars and the fibre timing gear, both a pain to replace if required. Lovely car though for £17/10/00p and only one previous owner.

The grille and front fascia of that Morris Oxford reminds me of a Hudson Jet from about the same year, the Morris is likely a lot more common then the Hudson of course since they only made Jets in 1953 and 54.

I had a '54 Oxford - bought it in 1969 for £12. POW 850. It was in excellent condition with a Gold Seal engine. A Beetle ran into the back of me when I was stationary. His "nose" hit one of my rear overriders square on and was a terrible mess. Not a scratch on the Oxford. I went in a brand new taxi one in India last year. Some nods to contemporary motoring, but uncannily true to the original.

it is allways nice to see Morris Oxfords & all the other BMC Farinas. (the BMC Farinas are featured in other car related videoclips.)
