Morris - The cars and the company

William Morris was de meest prominente Britse industrieel van de interbellum. Op een zeker moment had de beroemde Bullnose Morris, gemaakt in de fabriek te Cowley, een buitenwijk van Oxford, een lokaal marktaandeel van 41% - een cijfer dat geen enkele andere Britse fabrikant ooit heeft bereikt.

De eerste Morris auto werd in 1913 gebouwd, de laatste in 1984. Het verhaal van de opkomst en ondergang van het bedrijf is fascinerend. Het omvat twee Wereldoorlogen, zakelijke succes op de thuismarkt en beschamende mislukkingen in het buitenland.
De talloze Morris modellen veroverden een speciale plaats in het hart van de Britse automobilist. Dit boek beschrijft de loopbaan van de bescheiden, maar dynamische Morris en vertelt in detail het verhaal van alle auto's die zijn naam dragen.

A handy guidebook to all the Morris cars produced between 1948 and 1984. Morris was a prominent marque in Britain and around the world from the outset of production in 1913. In the postwar era Morris cars were exported throughout the world and many were assembled in overseas plants.
Many Morris models retain an enthusiastic following today, even though the last car was produced in 1984.

Illustrated in full colour, and with detailed information including colour schemes, optional equipment and technical specifications, this is a complete catalogue of the cars of that era, and will be an invaluable identification guide for anyone interested in these classic British cars.
Written by marque expert, Ray Newell, who has had a long association with Morris Cars, been Secretary of the Morris Minor Owners Club since 1983, and a founder member of the Morris Vehicles Association in 2013.

British Leyland - The Cars, 1968-1986

In 1968, British Leyland brought together most of Britain's motor manufacturers, with the intention of creating a robust unified group that could equal the strength of the big European conglomerates. But this was not to be.

There have been many books about the politics and the business activities of British Leyland, but "British Leyland - The Cars, 1968 - 1986" looks deliberately at the cars that came from the company, both the models it inherited and it created.

The eighteen years of the corporation's existence saw a confusing multitude of different car types, but this book resolves these confusions, clarifying who built what, and when.
The book takes 1986 as its cut-off point because this was the year that the old British Leyland ceased to exist and what was left of the car and light commercial business was renamed the Rover Group.

BMC 1100 and 1300 - An Enthusiast's Guide

The British Motor Corporation's 1100 and 1300 model range was amongst the most successful in the Corporation's history, selling more than 2.1 million of all types between its introduction in 1962 and its demise in 1974.
World-wide, it was sold under eight different marque names and in two-door saloon, four-door saloon, two-door estate, and five-door hatchback forms - and very nearly as a van as well. In Britain, it was the country's best-selling car between 1962 and 1971, being beaten just once (in 1967) by the Ford Cortina.

BMC 1100 and 1300 looks at the design and development of a model range that at the time confirmed BMC as a pioneer of new automotive ideas and had a profound impact on other manufacturers. It covers not only the full standard model range, but special conversions, cars built abroad, and owning and running the cars today.

Making Cars at Cowley - From Morris to Mini

In 1913 an ambitious young businessman named William Morris converted a derelict military college on the outskirts of Oxford into an assembly hall for motor vehicles. He thus opened the first chapter in one of the most extraordinary success stories of the British motor industry, becoming Lord Nuffield and a multi-millionaire in the process.

From Morris Motors and Pressed Steel, via the British Motor Corporation and British Leyland to its role as part of BMW and their successful manufacture of the new Mini, car manufacture at Cowley has been a significant player.
Though the old factory chimneys have given way to more modern developments, Oxford today would be a very different place without its influence.

Most of the photographic material in this book is taken from the comprehensive archive collections of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, located at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon. Now in this revised and fully updated edition, new illustrations and text seek to show further how important Morris was to Cowley.
