My Story

MY Morris 8 series Z van was made in 1950 as a private van, which was different than the fleet vans. Private vans have steel front wings, windows in the rear doors, a shelf below the dashboard and sometimes a passenger seat. The Z van is rated at 5cwt and has a 918cc engine, with a three-speed gearbox.
