Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1930s Morris 8 Tourer presents well after past restorations, featuring a non-transferable registration and MoT exemption. While the folding roof is in excellent condition, the car needs attention to its fuel system and indicator wiring, with only one drive recorded since 2020.
