Morris Commercial C4

[Mike K]

hi Rolf,

What a great find . There was another Morris 15 cwt owner in Norway , here his his email from a few years back . Maybe you know this fellow ? I think he is an officer in the Norwegian army ?

Have you checked the wheelbase of that C4 yet ? There were two versions , the Mk 2 was slightly longer , i have seen pics of the Mk2 with GS body and the spare wheel mounted betwen the cab and body . From the pic , you may have a mk 1 .

I have never seen a C4 here , only CS8's . Yes, I would like more pics , and any info you can find out about the vehicle .

The manuals are available from rob Van Meel . The MCC manuals are not that good , but better than nothing . It should have the small headlights and sidelights ect.

Good Luck

Mike

PS Is it the same vehicle , the red one you had some time back ?

Hello.


My father has reasently bought a Morris CS8. He (and I) plan to restore it to good condition. As far as we know it is one of only two known examples who has surwived in Norway. This one is belived to be brought to Norway by the Germans. Probably captured early in the war. I am no expert on second world war, but my father is. (I am an officer in the army.. but he is the history expert.)

I hope that it is posible for you to send some information about the CS8 and where it is posible to get parts, tips and other things that we nead.
It would also be great if you could send the part list that you have scanned.

We have previously only restored an American Ford GPW ("Jeep". American parts and information is easily obtained because the "Jeep" and other american vehicles has been used in the Norwegian Army.


Sinserely yours
