By 1925 over 54,000 cars were sold making MORRIS the largest producer in UK.
The last car with a MORRIS badge was built in 1984.
In more than fifty years dozens of different emblems had been on the cars so it´s a pleasure to collect MORRIS emblems.
The first MORRIS OXFORD ( 1913 - 1914 ) had no radiator emblem.
To my knowledge the first emblem was on the radiator of a MORRIS COWLEY in 1915.
It showed an ox with tail down (!) crossing a ford, therefore Oxford !!!
