AI Listing Summary
This 1927 Morris Empire Oxford is an unrestored vehicle presented in "oily rag condition", acquired in 2017. The car, estimated at £8,000 - £10,000, has a 2500cc engine and a history of only two former keepers up until 2017, with use including trips to Provence.
Condition
5
The car is described as unrestored and in "quintessential oily rag condition," indicating noticeable cosmetic and mechanical wear. The description suggests it has been used regularly and may have some minor issues associated with age and lack of restoration, such as wear and tear on the paint, interior, or mechanical components. Moderate reconditioning is likely needed to bring it to a better standard.
