Oxford Diecast 76MS005 - Morris Six Clarendon Grey

Another classic car from the Morris Motors Limited stable comprises the four-door Morris Six, their first six-cylinder post war vehicle, launched in 1948 and costing £607, including tax, although it went up to £671 in 1949. With a top speed of 82.5 mph, petrol consumption was quite heavy at only 20 mpg. When production ceased in 1953, nearly 12,500 had rolled off the assembly line. Painted in grey with a mass of contrasting silver masking to the exterior bodywork. Registered JWV 833, the model features dark red seating, again in contrast to the grey exterior. The characteristic Morris Six radiator grille is reproduced in silver and black. The Morris badge appears on the boot lid of the vehicle above the black and silver square number plate, while the very solid looking bumpers are also masked silver.
