Description

KEY FACTS This Morris Oxford is a charming and once commonplace classic British saloon, which has been transformed into a very competitive historic race car that boasts impressive racing provenance.

Under the bonnet sits a highly upgraded 1.5-litre ‘B-series’ inline-four, fed by a Weber carburettor, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission.

This example has been with the seller for one year, and the CAMS logbook shows two previous owners dating back to 1995.

This Oxford is believed to have originally been transformed into an Appendix J race car, but now meets Historic Category-5 specification and is reported to be ready to race.

It has been to all ‘GEAR’ (Golden Era of Australian Racing Club) meetings during 2024.

The seller notes that the car will be sold without Rego, as this can’t be transferred to people outside of their car club.

The odometer shows 97,519 miles from new.
