All those cars,stashed away in a barn? I'd love to see them all restored back to their original glory.

Is the red car a 1938 Morris 8 series?

Btw for anyone who is interested in one of these I saw one in pretty good condition on ebay india going for around 2 lakhs. Im sure the price could be got down as it was relisted a couple of times without anyone buying it.

there was a similar cluster of vintages found long back in pune which had a similar collection, i believe black and red combo was the favorite for the ford A,cause this is the third i have seen
anyway good to know they are getting restored

So khanak, what car is the blue one then?

And btw, I think these pics. should be in Classics getting restored thread now that are due for resto.!

khanak · 22nd January 2008, 10:41

The blue one is a Morris 8.

vintagepoint5 · 23rd January 2008, 11:38

Blue car is Morris 8 (30's) pre E series
Austin (baby) & other Austin 10 - 30's cars, honeycomb radiator grills chrome plated comes in Austin before 1932 and after 1932 it has painted radiator body color.
Ford A model seems early 30's model 4 cyl.

My family used to have all types of Austin cars in 70's.

vintagepoint5 · 23rd January 2008, 12:50

I had seen Morris 8 similar model in Secunderabad in one garage
Red color and the owner said it is not for sale. I will post picture soon.
Another convertible Morris 8 seen, is under restoration near Hyderabad Gowliguda Bus Depot.

These Morris-8 series were successful cars of its times, there close compitators were : Ford Y (very similar in size), Austin-8, Standard-8

Not seen any Morris-8 in Vintage car rally in Hyd so far.
