More expensive when new than its open equivalent, this rare 1925 Morris Cowley ‘Bullnose’ Fixed Head Coupe is reputedly one of just twelve or so such cars that are known to have survived to the present day. Initially supplied by The Totley Bridge Garage of Abbeydale, the Morris still sports its original registration number ‘WB 4649’ and factory-fitted 11.9hp engine. Reportedly restored during the 1990s, the Two-Seater plus Dickey Seat is described by the vendor as being in ‘good’ (bodywork, paintwork, gearbox, interior trim) or ‘very good’ (engine, electrical equipment) condition. We are further informed that: ‘This delightful ‘Bullnose’ has been owned by a lady for the past 24 years. The Cowley has comprehensive documentation giving its history and comes with the original buff logbook. The engine is strong and the non-synchro gearbox a delight to use. Second gear ‘chatters’ as it always has done during the current ownership. The Fixed Head Coupe bodywork is sound and ‘WB 4649’ draws a great deal of attention wherever it goes. The vehicle has been maintained by a highly qualified Vintage Car mechanic’

Available in various guises from 1913-1926, the ‘Bullnose’ Morris was among the most accomplished Light Car designs of its generation.
