Morris Oxford
Restoration
Welcome to our information page on the restoration of our classic Morris Oxford.
Built at the end of 1954 and purchased in 1985, this classic Morris Oxford is a very original example with only one modification – a manual washer for the windscreen!
Body Work Restoration
The Morris Oxford required major body panel restoration.

Morris Oxford door restoration.
Replacement wings, sills and rear wheel arches were fitted as part of the renovation. Repairs to the lower door panels, floor panels, crossmember ends and inner wheel arches were all repaired and restored. New front and back windscreen seals were replaced and all trim and bumpers were re-chromed. To finish off the first stage of the Morris Oxford renovation, a full external respray using cellulose paint in Empire Green was applied.
Mechanical Restoration
The BMC B series engine has had a reconditioned cylinder head fitted (from a Wolsey 1500) which has since had valve seats hardened for unleaded petrol use. The master cylinder (combined clutch and brake) and all wheel brake cylinders were replaced with new. The original petrol pump has been replaced and full set of new tyres fitted. A worn king pin had also to be replaced.
Trim Restoration
New carpet was fitted and all the inner door panels renovated.
Morris Oxford History
This version of the Morris Oxford was released by BMC in May 1954 and designed by Alec Issigonis (Mini designer) the styling shows a grille continuation from the previous MO models with the bonnet, wings, grille and dashboard layout adopted by the later Mini. It used the new BMC B series 1500cc engine which was in production in various forms till 1986!
As many other BMC parts were used and the Series 3 Oxford was being manufactured as the Hindustani Ambassador in India from 1957 to 2014 it has meant that many parts are still available to help with further restoration. It was the first Morris BMC car to have curved front and back wind screens but no-one told the wind screen wiper department so it retained the Roger Moore eyebrow style split screen wipers. As many other BMC parts were used and the Series 3 Oxford was being manufactured as the Hindustani Ambassador in India from 1957 to 2014 it has meant that many parts are still available to help with further restoration. A true six seater having the steering column set at an angle so that the driver could sit to the far right on the bench seat and allow two passengers to join them.
Everyday Use
In the 1980s it was our only car and would often do 100 mile journeys to visit family and friends or go on holiday to the coast. It is run every week to keep everything moving but there is always something to adjust or restore.
We have had six in the car many times notably when we used the car for a friend’s wedding – four bridesmaids and a page boy as passengers.
FAQs
Q4 Evo Original HiFi Rack
“MAKE YOU HIFI SOUND EVEN BETTER”
How and why Quadraspire furniture makes your HiFi sound even better
What you place your hifi on will affect its performance. Placing your hifi on a Quadraspire original hifi rack will help reduce resonance, lower the noise floor and open the soundstage to make your HiFi sound even better.
Engineered for sound
Parallel lines on rectangular shelves encourage resonance which can distort sound. where possible we avoid parallel lines in the same way as most musical instrument designs.
The shelves on our racks are machined to reduce any resonance, lowering the noise floor and opening the sound stage whilst also improving sound quality and performance.
The edges on all of our shelves are chamfered to help dissipate energy and help improve sound.
Steel tube can resonate and distort sound. Aluminium has much less resonance so we use it instead for all of our columns and feet.
Some materials like glass resonate and distort the sound of your system. As a result of extensive testing of different materials we use solid bamboo ply which suppresses vibrations and is also carbon neutral.
It’s no coincidence that a lot of musical instruments use brass and bronze. Our research and design found that bronze and brass are good materials for reducing resonance so we developed a bronze upgrade for all of our racks.
Specifications
Dimensions of our Quadraspire Original hifi racks, weight limits, column lengths and finishes. Our Q4 Original hifi racks use 32mm diameter curved SV columns in black or matt silver.
Available heights are: 100mm, 140mm, 180mm, 216mm, 256mm, 326mm
A choice of spikes, flat feet or castors are also available.
Shelves are made from solid bamboo which is available in natural or coloured. choice of 4 finishes, cherry, black dark and natural, for all our Q4 Original hifi racks.
Bamboo is unique in its beauty and is therefore subject to variation in grain and colour. Whilst every effort is made to ensure consistency in the representation of the bamboo finishes in the photographs, please be aware that there may be variations between these and the actual product.
Bamboo and Wood are natural products that respond to variations in humidity and temperature by expanding and contracting. Sometimes these changes may be noticeable in the form of small movements or open grain. This is a natural occurrence within the fibres of a natural product and will not affect the performance of your rack.
