1971 Morris Oxford (Farina) Series VI
This very pretty motocar is in remarkable condition which belies its age. The engine bay, interior, body, all in top show order. Clearly been used very carefully by previous owners, one of whom, in 2019, replaced the clutch and gearbox with recon units and fitted 2 steel front wings. Ideal entrée into the classic car world. Needs to be seen and driven to be fully appreciated. Handles really smooth.
Will let the accompanying photos speak for themselves.
Quite a rare sight on the roads today, and this being one of the finest is better than money in the bank.
All books and tools. New spare tyre, History folder, Road tax and MOT exempt.
Car located in Lytham St Annes, Lancashire. Transport arranged at £1 pr/ mile (one way only charged) For more info call John on number quoted in this ad.
A superb classic ready for summer fun and excursions, could also be driven everyday.
Marque History
All five Farina cars were updated in October 1961 with a new 1. 6-litre (1622 cc/ 98 in3) version of the B-Series engine, longer wheelbase and a new revised look. The tail fins had been trimmed and there were still detail changes between the marques. The Morris retained the Series V dash, while the Austin had an all-new fake woodgrain design. The Morris Oxford Traveller (estate) Series V was replaced by a Series VI, although little changed apart from the front grille.
A diesel-engined Oxford Series VI, introduced shortly after the 1961 update, was popular as a taxi. Variants of the same diesel engine enjoyed a long life in marine applications.
The Oxford VI remained in production until 1971 with 208, 823 produced. The Oxford range was to have been replaced by the 1967 Morris 1800, but in the event both were built until Oxford VI production ended in 1971 because, in terms both of pricing and of interior space, the 1800 fell into the market segment of a larger car. The Morris 1800 continued in production until 1975, when it was succeeded by the Princess. At the smaller end of the market the Oxford VI was replaced by the Morris Marina, which also succeeded the smaller Morris Minor.
