Believed to be the oldest surviving example, been told it's No 27 off the line. Please no cries of ' don't banger race it', it ISN'T going on the track. Will post better pics on over the next few days.    Needs a fair bit of work, would really like to replace those fibreglass wings with steel ones, it's a lot better underneath than the exterior suggests, 2 previous owners, 28,000 miles from new!!! |

Hmmm, tasty. Fibreglass wings are terrible. My Aunt's Oxford VI had them and they left panel gaps that a child could get through.

Mr B always cracks me up!!!!!!!!!!! The Fibo wings are actually of decent quality and have been fitted really well. But they just ain't metal.

No engine at present, will have its original matching number lump back in soon. Obviously the most important job to do right now is get my TR6 steels straight on it!!

This was back in the 1980s and I imagine that they were the cheapest tatt available. |

Did I see this car on the back of a transit syle recovery lorry in the Willenhall area a few months ago?
Want the steel wings from my Oxford?, swap them if you like. lol

Nice find Les. Funnily enough I was shown a 4/68 in a barn today! Can't be many of them left. |

No, proper rare. When I was first contacted about it, was told it was a Morris Oxford. Was pretty chuffed when I got in touch with the owner and he told me what it actually was.
