The Morris Ten, announced on 1st September 1932, was a medium-sized car introduced for 1933 as the company’s offering in the prominent 10 hp sector of the British market.
With the 10hp category becoming increasingly important, the Ten was an immediate success for Morris. Introduced in August 1932 as saloon or special coupé, a tourer joined the range in December. Powered by a new side valve engine, the Ten was a sturdy if unspectacular performer with excellent braking through Lockheed hydraulics. Four-speed ‘box standard and clutch were the usual cork-linings-in-oil. A new chassis introduced for ’34, along with synchro ‘box. Two-tone colour schemes came along in 1935.
This 10/4 is presented in blue over black with a blue interior,
there is paperwork to state it was owned by Florence Straton of Northants in May 1945, it then passed to Charles Hill of North Aston in 1981, David Greenwood in 1984 and then Peter Woolmer of Aylesbury in 1994. He sold it to our vendor some ten years ago (his grandfather owned one!). Since that time it has stayed in his dry garage.
He has now decided it is time to part with it and two friends recommissioned it for him. They have fitted a new battery, cleaned the ignition system, rebuilt the carb and fuel pump, the gearbox and diff oil was drained and replaced, petrol tank drained and cleaned, brakes overhauled and a general tidy up. It started with ease and was driven onto our trailer, since when it has been driven around our grounds. Further safety checks should be conducted before serious road use.
