A bit about Morris

Morris Motors Limited was a British car manufacturer based in Oxford. The brand was originally established in 1912 when William Morris moved away from his background in bike manufacturing to concentrate on cars.

In 1913 a factory was opened and Morris’ first car, the two-seat Morris Oxford “Bullnose” was complete. While the car was received well enough for the line-up to soon sport a van and a coupé, Morris’ design could not accommodate the four-seat design that was in demand. Morris turned to American engine manufacturers Continental and, unlike many marques of the time, was able to produce and find demand for the two and four-seater Morris Cowley which debuted in spite of World War I commencing.

Morris’ success continued to grow to such an extent that by 1924, just 12 years after entering the car market, it was the UK’s largest car manufacturer, a title previously held by Ford. Morris used his profit to take ownership of his suppliers, so by 1924 the Oxford factory was delivering 2000 units a week with parts that were now Morris-own brand. This period also saw the birth of another leading car marque, MG, also owned by Morris but operating as a separate brand. In 1927, Morris also took ownership of the then floundering Wolseley Motors. By this time, he had also gained an OBE and peerage as Baron Nuffield, naming subsidiaries after his Nuffield title, most notably, those that today remain known as Nuffield Health.

The Second World War hit Morris harder than the first, and caused the brand to cease car production to work on military vehicles and other supplies. Despite this, Morris bounced back with what remains one of its most iconic cars, the Morris Minor. Designed by Alec Issigonis, who would go on to design the Mini, the Morris Minor was in production for over fifty years.

In 1952, Morris, as part of the Nuffield Organisation, merged with Austin Motor Company and formed the British Motor Corporation (BMC). In 1966 BMC would acquire Jaguar, and then be further merged with Leyland Motors in 1968 to become the British Leyland Motor Corporation. These shifts in management and structure did not serve the brand well and by the 1980s, even with attempts to revive the brand through reissued versions of the Marina and Princess, Morris faced serious financial troubles. 1984 saw the last Morris car ever produced. Morris sites were turned over to what would become the Rover Group, which would go on to be sold to BMW.

The rights to Morris are currently owned by Nanjing Automobile, a subsidiary of SAIC, owners of Maxus, MG Motor, and Roewe.
