This Morris Oxford is a charming and once commonplace classic British saloon, which has been transformed into a very competitive historic race car that boasts impressive racing provenance. Under the bonnet sits a highly upgraded 1.5-litre ‘B-series’ inline-four, fed by a Weber carburettor, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This example has been with the seller for one year, and the CAMS logbook shows two previous owners dating back to 1995. This Oxford is believed to have originally been transformed into an Appendix J race car, but now meets Historic Category-5 specification and is reported to be ready to race. It has been to all ‘GEAR’ (Golden Era of Australian Racing Club) meetings during 2024. The seller notes that the car will be sold without Rego, as this can’t be transferred to people outside of their car club. The odometer shows 97,519 miles from new. This Morris Oxford is finished in an endearing shade of green with number 55 racing roundels on the bonnet and doors, and red, white, and blue stripes on the doors, over a largely stripped-out cabin, featuring black cloth-trimmed bucket seats, green tartan cloth upholstery on the rear seat and door cards, and diamond-patterned and chrome trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch body-coloured steel wheels fitted with Kapsen HD918 tyres. Equipment now includes a full aluminium roll-cage, an overhauled braking system, custom-made stabiliser bars, quick-release bonnet catches, kill switches, front and rear tow hooks, a Monzä Sports Autotechnica driver’s bucket seat, Sparco harnesses, an RPM Racegear passenger bucket seat, aluminium chequer plate driver’s floor panelling, Smiths gauges, a tilted rev-counter, a Saas oil pressure gauge, an aftermarket water temperature gauge, a boot-mounted race fuel cell, an oil catch tank with breather, an additional aluminium oil cooler, a finned MG rocker cover, and a battery isolator switch. The car comes with the CAMS logbook and approval documents, the current NSW Rego logbook, and invoices for recent maintenance work. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: previous paintwork is believed to have been carried out, the car is showing age-related signs of use, and the door cards and rear seat have been retrimmed. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 14 March 2024, which is understood to have resulted in a clean pass with no advisories. This Oxford’s most recent maintenance was carried out in October 2024 by Denstoj Auto Centre, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, all under-bonnet fluids topped up as required, the drive belts, pulleys, radiator and hoses being checked, and an inspection. Technicians at Denstoj Auto Centre carried out further work in October 2024, which included the carburettor being serviced, the choke cable being replaced, the tappets being adjusted, and a new oil pressure gauge being installed. The seller carried out an engine oil change in September 2024 at 97,519 miles. The seller notes that the car has been serviced following every race event in 2024 the car has competed in. The front brake pads and rear brake shoes/cylinders were replaced in February 2024 by Denstoj Auto Centre, alongside the front brake drums being machined, the brake fluid being renewed, the front wheel bearing being replaced, new rear wheel bearings being fitted, and a new brake master cylinder being installed. Technicians at Adam Gorrell Automotive cleaned out the fuel cell, fitted a new fuel cell internal hose, replaced the fuel filter, cleaned and set ignition points, fitted a new rotor button, installed a new air filter, fitted a new water pump and gasket, installed a new water pump drive belt, and renewed the coolant in September 2023. This Morris Oxford is a characterful and endearing classic British saloon, which has been transformed into a very competitive historic race car that boasts impressive racing provenance. Presented with an appealing colour scheme, charming styling, and boasting a highly upgraded 1.5-litre B-series engine alongside a number of other discerning track-focused upgrades, it would make a fine addition to any classic motorsport-themed collection, and a very competitive entrant for various historic race events.
