Model: Cowley 'Bullnose'
First registered in the UK on 10 August 1926, we know relatively little of the history of this Morris Cowley Open Two-Seater - nothing until the 1970’s when it came into the ownership of a couple of long-term keepers in Wales, before passing to a Somerset-based vintage car enthusiast in 2021 and then being acquired by a Jersey based owner in 2022.
The car has clearly received much attention and restoration work in the not too distant past - to judge from its excellent appearance – but we have no record of how much work was carried out.
The engine used in this generation of Cowley was a 1500 cc, side-valve 4-cylinder, mated to a 3-speed gearbox. This produced around 27 bhp and endowed the car with a respectable top speed of around 50 mph. The car runs and drives very well, with stopping provided by rod and cable-operated drum brakes.
The body of the car is very smart and tidy – Maroon paintwork with black fenders in very good condition. The interior has been fully re-upholstered throughout at some point and remains in excellent shape.
A very popular and distinctive vintage motor car in excellent condition, offering a true vintage driving experience. It is ready to be used for club runs, parades and displays.
