My Morris Oxford Traveller
Here are a few pictures of her, owned for twenty years but has been sitting in a garage for thirteen of them up till eighteen months back when l sent her up to Yorkshire for recommisioning. We've done around 1000 miles since we collected her a couple of months back. There is some welding to do underneath which is being taken care of in the next few weeks & the interior is being bought up to scratch gradually:

Very rare vehicle theses days, and lovely to see. Mind you, I thought that all Oxford Travellers were a single colour, the Cambridge version having the duo tone. If yours was always two colours, even rarer!

FIL has a Morris Oxford pick up.
Well, it started out as two cars…..😀 He made a tidy job out of it. Pity I don’t have any photos of it at hand. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Incidentally, she was fitted with an 1800 Sherpa engine when l bought her, now replaced with the same, a crated reconditioned one l found in the back pages of Classic Car Weekly some years back now. The original gearbox now backed up with a 3.9 MGB differential.

Very nice bit of nostalgia.
You don't see the Morris Oxford that was prior to this nowadays many years ago they were rebuilding them in India IIRC. Talking about it with my brother in law the other day he had a two tone green back in the '60s.

They're pretty scarce but you could probably get one if you wanted, depending on your desires regarding condition.

My father had one of those for a few years, green it was, with trafficators where you had to give the B pillar a thump to get them to pop out. The fabrol gear for the valve timing stripped, once on route to a holiday, common problem apparently, then he set fire to the wiring for the dash illumination and ended up jury rigging little lampholders and SMES 12v bulbs, with twin flex.
