A charming Bullnose Morris Cowley Roadster with loads of character and known history going back to the 1960’s is a true treasure to find.

The Morris Cowley was first introduced by the Morris Company in 1915 known as the Bull nose Cowley with a 1495cc side valve engine made by the Continental Motor Manufacturing Company of Detroit. Even though the Cowley was a British built car, a vast majority of the components were actually sourced from the USA, saving production costs. Later in 1919 the updated Cowley had an engine made by Hotchkiss in 1548cc form which was essentially a modified copy of the discontinued Continental unit. The 1919 Cowley sat bellow the Oxford at the time as a no-frills version of the Oxford. Equipment such as a starter motor were optional extras.

The Cowley we have here was originally dispatched from the Morris Works as a 4 seat chassis – a roadster with dicky seat. The car had been known by the Bullnose Morris Club (UK) since the late 1960 and was listed in the 1974 editions of the Early Morris Cars.

The Cowley originally left the Morris factory fitted with an 11.9hp engine but this was replaced with a Morris Oxford 13.9hp engine during the restoration in Tasmania. The decision was made to keep this engine as it had been in the car for many years and had now become part of the car's history. The engine then received the full treatment with a rebore, new oversize pistons, porting, bearings remetalled, NOS Oxford head skimmed to increase compression, new valves, 10lbs machined from the flywheel, everything balanced, gearbox rebuilt, steering box rebuilt, clutch recorked, radiator rebuilt, new wheel bearings, brakes overhauled and relined and the CWP was changed from 5.2 to 1 to that of 4.7 to 1. The missing front wheel drive speedo parts were replaced with imported reproduction items and the Smiths speedo was rebuilt. The car's engine is now close to early MG specifications and it has a much-improved performance and faster gear changes.
