The earlier model of Morris 8 1948 was changed into more modern looking egg shaped body with. Two door model. The engine of earlier Morris 8 model was retained it was a side valve flat head water cooled engine with water pump added. The wheel size was reduced to 14 inch rim with semi floating rear axle supported by semi elliptic leaf spring. Front suspension was independent type with torsion bars. It had four fwd and rev gear.
