Morris

Morris was founded in 1912 by William Morris (later Lord Nuffield) and became one of the leading British carmakers in the interwar and postwar periods. Early Morris cars were known for distinctive coachwork and the early 'bullnose' radiator shape on Oxford/Cowley models, later replaced by more conventional grilles as the marque modernized. The company expanded through acquisitions and became a core part of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) in the 1950s; the Morris name continued on a wide range of volume models such as the Morris Minor and Morris Oxford. Over the decades the brand badge and script evolved from simple radiator and maker-identification details to more stylized emblems used on hubcaps and grilles, reflecting changes in automotive styling and corporate ownership.
