I've been pondering over this photo. Some details make me think that it's a flat rad Morris, whereas others, such as the 3 stud wheel fixings, and headlights set very low relative to the front wings, have got me wondering??

Is it a Morris?

Yes Rick.

I'm almost certain that it's a late twenties Flatnose Cowley. The Cowley had three stud Dunlop wheels, the Oxford had 5 stud Dunlop wheels.
The low headlights are the same as mine. They are mounted on individual stubs bolted to the chassis and sloping slightly forwards without a cross bar between them.
My bonnet side panels have three vertical rows of horizontal louvres, but I have seen the single horizontal row of vertical ones like the photo.

Thanks Keith, I'd not realised about the stud differences between Cowleys and Oxfords!

ta, Rick

Rick,

Further to my previous post, I have attached a photo of the Cowley. You can see the 3 stud wheels and also the low headlamps.
