100 Years of Morris.

Now you will know or if you don't you do now that in the spring of 1913 William Morris's first car, the Morris Oxford was produced for £175.
To celebrate 100 years of Morris and the 65th anniversary of the launch of so many "new" models of car and commercials many events are being planned this year.
It is 65 years since the 1948 Motor Show, the first motor show after the war and a bright new era was dawning, remember "export or die".
So we have the big 65th anniversary J rally in Birmingham, being organised by the J register and a big two day event at Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire,
 ( www.cornburypark.co.uk ) the same weekend, 15-16th June. Many many car and van clubs will be there.





 Other clubs are still being added, all will be doing a display, what a sight this will be.
The Morris Isis, Cowley and Hindustan club, The 6/80 & MO club, The POVC and The Morris LCV group have all just announced they will be there! Still many more clubs have yet to announce their intentions. Check out www.morriscentenary.org.uk and  www.jtypevan.com for further details.
Will you be there?
