Morris Cowley

Morris Cowley?

John also sent me a photo of a Morris Cowley from this period.  The car in John' photo looked similar to those in the photo on this page, except that it had no bar running in front of the radiator linking the headlights, and the radiator had a broader surround and no line running vertically down the centre of the radiator.  Perhaps John's photo was of an earlier model.

1920s or 1930s

I had originally captioned the photo at the top of this page '1920s''

However, after reading John's comments about another photo of the City Cars taken elsewhere in Central Garage, possibly on the same occasion, I've changed the caption to read '1920s or 1930s'.
