Morris :- A car company that existed between 1910 and 1970 (approx), later being absorbed into
bmc (british motor corporation), which was then absorbed into
rover etc etc. I doubt that you have ever heard the name as for most it is a forgoten relic of what it once was but how many times have you seen, heard of or thought of
MG well that
company belive it or not stood for morris garages. The company managed to keep its head above water by creating the morris 8 the 10 and so on and so forth, the reason that the name stands out (to those with an interest) is that in 1948 they released the
morris minor (later rebadged by
austin). The main factory was in
Cowley Oxford England and did not limit its scope to cars also encompssed the comercial side.
Many examples of preserved and restored morrise's exist all over the world (especially in asia) but unfortunatly many also 'died' rotting in scrap yards due to the inevitable tin-worm.
