AI Listing Summary

This 1929 Morris Cowley 'Flatnose' is a beautifully restored example, retaining its original buff log book and boasting a remarkable ownership history. It offers an authentic pre-war motoring experience and comes with an exceptional archive of documentation.
The car is powered by a 1.5-litre inline four-cylinder engine paired with a three-speed manual gearbox and features four-wheel drum brakes. Discovered in the early 1980s, it has undergone a sympathetic revival and careful restoration, now presented in superb order while maintaining its genuine period character.

Condition

8

The car is described as 'beautifully restored' and 'presented in superb order' with 'genuine period character and charm'. It is also running and driving well. This aligns with an Excellent (8) rating, as it implies very well-maintained condition with minimal cosmetic imperfections, and perhaps minor reconditioning might have been done during the restoration.
