Hi

I have a mate with a Morris MO and have been out in it several times, I have
also driven it. I would say that the car is typical of a 1950s car and this
is all part of the charm. It can easily keep up with modern traffic and I
found the steering to be positive.

I would say if it is in good condition why not buy it.

Regards

Hi,

I have been a lurker here for a while, I have a question about the Oxford
Mo, I have seen one on ebay and have always fancied one of therse, I
wondered anyone knows whether this would be a good buy or not? I have
emailed the seller but his advise may not be impartial

I live about 80 miles away from the seller so will go down a view it
before
I bid, can anyone tell me good things to look out for.

Thanks

They were thought sluggish when new. The steering is nice though, but then
so is something like a Z series Magnette, which *will* keep up with modern
traffic ok.

Depends on what you want a car for. The Magnette is in a different
league, although just about a contemporary. And I've driven both. I owned
a Magnette for years, and a pal had an Oxford.
