The Appeal
Dating back to 1915, the Cowley was at the forefront of new engineering and production techniques, later gaining tremendous praise for its durability and build quality. The Cowley’s production run was rather impressive and covered a huge array of models, updates and variants, including this very 1929 Morris Cowley Two-seater.
Otherwise known as a ‘Flatnose’ Cowley, this generation saw vast development over its predecessors, featuring select all-steel bodies, a new chassis, upgraded suspension, and of course, styling tweaks. Today, these historic motor vehicles are incredibly rare, with a great deal having fallen to age over the years.
This example, however, benefits from a very thorough restoration around ten years ago and has been beautifully preserved since. Now offered with excellent mechanical health, and in fantastic condition inside and out, this classic Morris would make a superb addition to any collection.
