1953 Morris Six MS Deluxe Saloon
Morris introduced a new rounded unibody car in 1948, the small car was the Minor MM, mid size, the MO Oxford and the large car was the Six MS. All of a similar shape, it was said the Minor looked like a poached egg.
The 6 cylinder Morris Six MS was built from 1948-53. The car was very similar to the MO Oxford sharing the same bodyshell from the windscreen backwards. The bonnet and wheelbase was lengthened 13 inches to take the 2215 cc OHC 6 cylinder engine. The MS got a tall narrow grille whereas the Oxford's was a low and wide.
A de-luxe version was announced in 1953 with leather upholstery, a heater and over-riders on the front bumpers.
The Morris Six MS also shared its body with the more luxuriously finished Wolseley 6/80. The Wolseley's grille was flatter with a more prominent chrome surround.
