Club History

Morris 8 Tourer Club

The club was formed as the Morris 8 Tourer Club in 1959 by a number of enthusiasts who shared a common interest in pre-war Morris 8hp cars (Morris Minors 1929-1934 and Morris Eights 1935-1939).

Morris Register

Within a few years of formation, it was realised that there were no clubs to cater for quite a few other pre-war Morris vehicles. In 1966 the decision was taken to expand the scope of the club to cover all Morris Cars, and Van derivatives, designed before 1st January 1940. This covers vehicles that were in production from 1913 (Oxford) to 1954 (Series Z vans).

The objects of the Register have remained largely unchanged since its formation and are:

  • to promote interest and enthusiasm in all Morris vehicles of a type designed before 1st January 1940
  • to put members in touch with each other
  • to pool experience of maintenance, modification, rebuilding and tuning
  • to keep spares in circulation at reasonable cost
  • to assist members in selling, buying and exchanging cars and spares
  • hold occasional rallies and meetings
  • To achieve these objects, the Register organises a number of national events, (and it's Regions numerous local events), publishes monthly newsletters and a quarterly journal and maintains a comprehensive spares service.

    In order to keep our vehicles on the road, we need to ensure that legislation (UK & EU) does not prevent us from doing so or make our usage prohibitive.

    The Morris Register is a member of the Federation of British Historical Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC). The FBHVC aims to keep the use of old vehicles free from unnecessary restriction, by influencing MPs, lobbying Brussels (EU), talking to Civil Servants and Government Agencies.
