My Series E is a pre-war, tourer number 22717.
Here is a picture of the Morris Series E production-line which was kindly sent to me by Ted Hayward.
When introduced at the Motor Show in October 1938, the Series ‘E’ was a major step forward for Morris as the replacement for the popular Series I and II models. The new model boasted a modern-style radiator grille and was the first British mass production car to feature headlamps fared into the wings. The Series ‘E’ offered exceptional value, with a saloon costing from £128, and retained the rugged 918cc engine which was now fitted with shell bearings, a new head design and a counterbalanced crankshaft. Initially available as an open tourer and as a two or four-door saloon, production halted at the outbreak of WW2 in September 1939. After the war, the Series E was only produced in saloon form. In this form the production continued until the introduction of the Issigonis designed Morris Minor in 1948.
