Morris Oxford
I'm not a car buff, but I'm pretty certain I've got this one correct <grin>

Re: Morris Oxford
The four fellows from Phoenix, who trousered all the BMW money then cleared off should be strung up, IMHO. Probably.
What a heritage we have lost - Allegro, Maxi, Marina, Princess - all gone... Nice details in this one Steve - but I wouldn't fancy having to peer at the temp gauge on the radiator to see if she was about to blow. My current car doesn't have a temperature gauge at all!

Re: Morris Oxford
Steve
A wonderful photograph. Firstly, an evocative subject which is attractive to look at. Secondly, great control of light and colour and selective focus. I agree with Andy, we have (almost) completely lost our wonderful engineering heritage in the UK. I worry especially about my students who have little contact with anything other than service industries. You wait until we have an emergency over ball bearings - that'll be a wake up call for this country. LouisB

Re: Morris Oxford
It's sad what's happened. There was a news article on the radio the other day which mentioned in passing that manufacturing only accounted for something like 15% of the UK economy. How times have changed.

Re: Morris Oxford
It's a Morris and it's from Oxford!
 If you are going to get me started on the demise of UK manufacturing industry and who was to blame, pass the AK47 Comrade.........
