Morris Eight Series E

Morris Eight Series E
The Morris Eight was restyled in 1938. I saw this one in a field adjoining Wilton Windmill when I visited in 2011. I've angled the picture to suggest the car is going downhill because that was the only way it could attain a speed of 60 mph. Logically the haystack is also going downhill, but that is an optical illusion. The laws of physics don't always apply in neolithic Wiltshire.
For information, Wilton Windmill is not in, nor particularly close to, the borough of Wilton near Salisbury. You'd do better looking for it near Marlborough.

I'd have thought the Morris 8 would be challenged to reach 50 mph. :-) A nicely kept classic.

Thanks for that observation. Somewhere on the web I noted a top speed of 58 mph for the series E. I wondered at the time if that were possible,and if so,how long it might take to get there. I have a little experience of the series 1 - which doesn't vary much from the series E under the skin - and anything over 50 mph in that was a bit scary.
