Morris Eight Series E
Morris replaced the Minor in 1934 with the bigger 8 horsepower 'Morris Eight' In 1938 the more streamlined Morris 8 Series E was launched and continued production after the War until replaced by the Morris Minor Series MM in 1948. The Morris 8 Series E had a unitary body mounted onto a chassis, a halfway house to full monocoque construction. The core of the body was shared with the MG Y-type.

The Series E brought a major restyle with a "waterfall" dummy grille, headlights in the wings and the running boards had gone. The car was longer, wider and heavier but the wheelbase was actually 1 inch shorter at 7 feet 5 inches. The "alligator" bonnet was now rear hinged making engine access poor. The engine was upgraded to the USHM type getting a new cylinder head, still side valve however, increased power to 29bhp and the crankshaft was counterbalanced.
