The Appeal
This Morris Eight was a project owned by an engineer and metal fabricator who intended to restore it and return the car to the road.
Unfortunately, the owner is now unable to restore the car, so the Morris is being put up for sale for someone else to complete.
Unfortunately, the owner is now unable to restore the car, so the Morris is being put up for sale for someone else to complete.
Produced from 1935 to 1948 the Morris Eight was inspired by the popular sales of the Ford Model Y of which the Morris’ styling closely resembled. The Eight was so successful, it enabled the manufacturer to regain its title of Britain’s largest motor manufacturer.
The History and Paperwork
The Morris only has its current V5 and some original operation manuals, the current owner has no more paperwork so it would require a more thorough investigation to ascertain the car’s history.
The Interior
The interior is mainly complete but is very tatty and worn and would most likely need to be removed and restored along with the rest of the car.
The two front seats and the rear bench however are present along with the door cards and some rear panelling, the dials and steering wheel are also present.
The floor looks to be in good shape, but the front bulkhead is not currently in the car.

The Exterior
The body of the Morris is obviously mid restoration and as such still has some of the parts that have not been attended to, the car is all there however with the driver’s side sill being the only exception.
The main thing is the frame underneath the car which seems to be in good condition, with a lick of black hammerite it looks to be fairly solid. The car has its original bumpers and even the convertible top frame as well as the engine covering and front cowl.
The tilting windscreen is also in good working order and is uncracked and relatively damage free.

The Mechanics
The current engine block in the car has a small hairline crack but the car comes with a spare block for the restoration.
Obviously, the car wasn’t started because of this but the internals of the engine are believed to be ok. The car moved forward and back easily on the day of the shoot and the steering rack moved smoothly and freely.

Summary
This part restored project needs someone to take it on and finish it in the way it deserves, the car would also be perfect for some classic hot rod style modifications with maybe a body chop or a different frame and a big engine.
It could even be perfect for a period racer style build as the Eights were quicker and much better equipped back in the day than the Austin 7’s.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
