Morris Motors was formed in to take over the assets for WRM Motors Limited, and took over an already prominent marque. Whilst indelibly associated with Oxford, UK, where William Richard Morris, the First Viscount of Nuffield founded the company, postwar Morris cars were exported all around the world, with many being assembled in overseas plants, leading to global awareness of the British marque Although the last of Morris' cars were produced in 1984, many models retain a highly enthusiastic following today, and some models still performing daily duties.
Our Pictorial History series books offer a unique insight into the huge range of models produced by some of the most famous auto makers, of the 19th and 20th centuries, and this guide covers all Morris cars produced between 1948 and 1984.
