Hello

From time to time, it appears a wonderfull oldy to be sale mainly on a french web site "LE BON COIN". After a white 704 a MORRIS COMMERCIAL C8 is for sale. Following the information of the saler the truck is in good order. Nevertheless the original body has disapeared and a metallic roof has been added. For more informations see the address

Hi Mike,

I agree. The brush bar supports indicate C4, as do windscreens, also I note it has slinging rings on the front, which were introduced on most British vehicles around late 1943 onwards.

Serge, nice find! Are you going after it?

As pointed out by Mike & Richard, this is most likely a C4, not built in 1938 but sometime during the latter part of WW2.

Regards,
Hanno

The truck is very attractive but I have no more place to start a such restoration. The saler wish 4500 euros for the vehicle but I think that the price could be reduced

Hello JAKOB

If you are looking for parts for your MORRIS COMMERCIAL , I have a friend (the owner of the CHEVROLET WA LRDG REPLICA I had described in previous thread) who have some part for sale (radiator, bonnet, fenders).
If you are interessed send me an email.
Best regards SERGE
