Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1934 Morris Ten van, once a show winner, presents a unique opportunity with its upgraded MG Midget engine for better performance.

Interior refresh and seat belt upgrades are positives, but the overall impression points to 'Good' with some wear and the need for minor reconditioning.

It was also extremely successful, helping Morris establish a commanding presence in the increasingly important 10hp market sector particularly in the commercial sector where the Ten van and pick-up trucks were ideal for small businesses and high-street traders.
This delightful 1934 example has been with our vendor for the last 18 months and has been used as a rolling billboard for his construction company.
The previous keeper owned the van for 9 years, during which time it attended many shows and, as can be seen from the photos won a few awards, showing the quality of its older restoration.
Sadly, there is no history file as such or detail of the restoration which we believe ...
