Description
This vehicle was re-registered for road use on 3 September 1993. The current owner, a well-known figure in the motor history hobby for many years, acquired the vehicle in November 2001 and it has been part of his extensive private collection. Due to logistical reasons, the seller and Bilwebauctions chose to leave the vehicle in the collection during inspection and photography.
According to information, it was only driven in traffic for a few months before the Second World War broke out and the possibility of motoring in general was withdrawn. Ford's advertising at the end of the war was "When peace comes, Ford comes". So when peace arrived and it became possible to venture out on the roads again, the fleet of cars began to run. However, pre-war cars quickly became outdated. This one was therefore left standing and was not driven for many years, eventually falling out of the register, but was later restored and re-registered.
Documentation and literature are included.

Owner's comment
Our father has always been an enthusiastic motor historian and over the years many fine and well-maintained vehicles have passed through the collection. He has always taken care of them, serviced and kept them in excellent and roadworthy condition. It has been a lifestyle and many friendships, vehicles and memories he and we in the family carry with us. Now it is time for the next chapter for us and the vehicles in the collection.
Facts about the model
MG Morris Garages was founded by W.R. Morris. Initially he sold bicycles and subsequently cars. From 1913 he manufactured cars under his own name, Morris Motor Company. At the same time he retained Morris Garages as a separate company and from 1924 he sold Morris cars with tuned engines and bespoke coachwork as M.G. cars.
During the 1930s a number of different models were produced and named as letter types, including J-type and P-type. In 1935 W.R. Morris sold MG to the Nuffield Organisation. That same year the Morris Eight arrived, a classic British small family car that became a great success and made Morris Britain's largest car manufacturer during the second half of the 1930s. It was available as two- and four-door saloons as well as an open Tourer. Hydraulic brakes and electric windscreen wipers were modern features on a small family car at that time. It came in Series 1 from 1935–37, Series 2 for a brief period in 1938. Series E, which was produced from 1938–48 with a break for the Second World War. When Series E arrived it received a more modern design with a new grille and headlights integrated into the front wings. It would maintain this appearance until the Morris Minor took over in 1948. The open Tourer version from 1939 was made in a small batch just before the outbreak of war and today only approximately 15 examples are preserved worldwide. In 1968 MG became part of British Leyland and 1980 was the end. However the marque lived on with Rover and later BMW but 2005 was the end once again. Now though, the Nanjing Automobile Group has dusted off the MG name once more. But that is quite another story.
