My dear old Dad bought a beat up old Morris 8......had a hard black top, but was red like the one in the pictures.....he didn't pay much for it(we hadn't got much)....he worked on it as a hobby and it took us to St Annes many times......Edisford Bridge after school to play by the river.......Ma gave him lots of stick for spending the money she had saved up to take us on trips during the school hols.....but it gave us many a very happy outing......I would guess we had the moneysworth ten times over.
It was fine as long as you didn't want to go fast.
