Morris built a bigger car, with high clearance for the road that dwindled to a trail. Sturdy suspension, deep springing on a 56 in. wheel track to ride where there was no road at all. A higher-powered engine to climb gradients more fit for mules than motors, each detail of its design to ensure a smooth, high output of power in all conditions of climate. Above all, a job that, from wheel to wheel, would be so reliable, so trustworthy, that your mind-would be easy a thousand miles from a garage.
This is the car that Morris, Europe's greatest automobile producers, have built for you. A universal car that has earned universal confidence.
