Birth of a British Icon – 1913 Launch
William Morris built the first Morris Oxford in 1913, establishing a factory in Cowley to assemble the new model. This marked the start of a long‑running line of cars that would become a staple of British motoring.
Dominating the Market in the 1920s
Between 1913 and mid‑1935 the Oxford grew in both size and quantity. By 1923, together with the Cowley, the two models accounted for 28.1 % of all British private car production.
International Legacy – Basis for the Hindustan Ambassador
