The balanced 1800 cc engine has a Ricardo type cylinder head, lightened flywheel, dyno driven magneto placed four inches further back in the chassis, a Kenlow electric fan and Evans waterless coolant, all driven through a Morris four speed gearbox coupled to a remote from a P-Type MG. The interior is trimmed in red leather with matching carpets and weather gear consists of a double duck full tonneau and hood. This VSCC eligible Morris special will be offered for auction with drawings and notes on the build, photographs of the restoration and a large extensive history file.
