Morris Twenty Five. A very rare, large Morris.

This is your chance to acquire one of the few large Morris cars that were built. Connoisseurs know that Morris mainly built rather small to medium-sized vehicles. This Twenty-Five has the largest engine ever built by Morris in a passenger car, with a displacement of 3.5 litres and 6 cylinders. An incredible 10 litres of engine oil fit into the oil pan and almost 20 litres of coolant. With over 80 SAE hp, it was then possible to reach over 120 km/h.

This vehicle is also equipped with a ‘sliding roof’, i.e. a large sunroof. There are also many interesting details to discover, such as the original glass wind deflectors above the side windows. That was already available at the time. Also the beautiful square speedometer unit in Art Deco style. A car to discover.
In the English Morris Register, only 3 of this series 2 model are registered. One of them is this one.
The car already has a German full approval §21 and a H-certificate and can therefore be registered on a H-license plate.
It has a built-in flashing system that is combined with the direction indicators, which then flash along with the direction indicators.
The car runs and drives well, but it is not that easy to move this rather large vehicle on uneven roads, as it needs to be guided firmly. Taller people have an easier time looking over the long and high bonnet.

The engine pulls well even in the highest gear at 30 km/h around the curve. The transmission shifts well, as well as it is possible for a car from the year of construction. Up-shifting is possible without double-clutching, down-shifting with double-clutching.
As with Rolls-Royce, for example, the car has built-in hydraulic jacks.

The Morris is really something for specialists who want a special English car that you don't see at every meeting. You will probably always be the only one in Germany, at least.
It is possible that the car was originally delivered to France. The speedometer says ‘kilometres’. Another stop in its ‘life’ was in Sweden before it came to Germany.
Regarding the condition: As already described, the car is in good running order and has passed its technical inspection until October 2025. We have driven several 100 km without any problems. The engine sounds good, the transmission shifts well, but there is a noise in first gear that could possibly be normal. The brakes work well and the tyres are in good condition. There are some paint and body defects to report. The oil pressure is very good when the machine is cold, but drops significantly after a few kilometres. You may have to switch to a different oil or continue to look for the cause. The water cap on the engine occasionally tends to let some coolant through. The steering gear should be sealed. The fuel gauge sometimes works... A pull bar with a handle still needs to be fitted for the sunroof.

You are not buying a flawless vehicle, you just have to know and bear that in mind, I'm completely open about that. But you are acquiring a real rarity that will get you a lot of interested questions from those in the know.

And fans of English cars know: It's not broken! It's British!
