Launched in August 1932, the new Morris 'Ten' could be had in either Saloon or Special Fixed Head Coupe guises (though, other body styles soon joined the model range).

Another best seller for William Morris's company, its appeal to 1930s motorists was much the same as it is for today's enthusiasts.

A simple yet well-crafted design, its leaf-sprung ladder chassis was powered by a 1292cc side-valve, four-cylinder engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
