Morris Ten-Four Saloon 1934
Company / History
The Morris motor company has a long and interesting history. The brand became successful thanks to William Richard Morris. He originally started out producing bicycles before moving into automobile manufacturing. The first Morris car was produced in 1913. The factory in Cowley, near Oxford, eventually became the heart of the company.
During the 1910s and 1920s, the Morris Oxford and Cowley were produced. These models contributed significantly to the company’s growth.
The Morris Ten-Four was introduced in 1932. The name “Ten-Four” refers to the car’s 10 hp tax rating and four-cylinder engine. In reality, the Morris produced 27 hp, but the lower 10 hp rating was more favourable for taxation purposes.
