have just seen this vid. such memories. dad had a mk1 i think was about 4th in northern ireland.(1955/6).police got 1st 3 i believe! i learned to drive and did my test in this car. lovely car to drive and very forgiving. we had car for 9 years from new. thanks for posting
My old dad had one when I was a teenager. t was a really comfy car to be a passenger in. Sounds like the tappets need adjusting properly though. I used to have a tool that took account of the wear on the rocker surfaces so you got the correct gap with worn rockers. I think it was called SPQR tappet adjuster.
This car began life as the Morris Oxford Series 2 from 1954 to 1956, and continued with small styling changes as the Series 3 1956 to 1959 involving a fluted bonnet and finned rear wings. After that the Series 3 design was bought by Hindustan in India who built it for many years up to 2014. It became the iconic Indian car due to its longevity of production, and I'm sure that many Indians never knew of its origins in England. It was a good choice for them because it was very spacious and comfortable to ride in. The Ambassador was re-imported into England in 1992, but sales never took off and the importers went into liquidation. Although cheap by English standards, it was just too old fashioned for anything but a niche market.
Just saw this video, of the Morris Isis now. They were a great 6 cylinder car well designed, put out in opposition to the Austin A90 and 95, though i think the Austins had it over the Isis for performance. I was 17yo when they came out.. Bob New Zealand.
It isn't actually. The Ambassador was the Morris Oxford Mk3, 4 cylinder 1500cc (there was also a more basic 1200cc version called the Cowley in the previous Mk2 form, the Mk2 being the Landmaster in India). My Dad had the Oxford Mk2 in 1955. The one in this video is the Isis, same shape but longer as it had a larger 6-cylinder engine. As far as I know it was never sold in India, in fact it didn't sell in huge numbers in the UK either.
@@terrytaylor9946 So please tell me where is this car currently available to see its well maintained and immaculate condition is it in india in bangalore (bangalore is in south india)
The Ambassador is commonly used as the famous yellow taxis in India, although newer cars have a Diesel engine. In the UK, there are only 30 left of the Isis, so they are rare. The Wikipedia page has some photos.
Thank you. I have a set of the wheel rimbellishers, which will be added in due course. Please look out for a series of videos that I shall be uploading soon as well.
There are various clubs that cover the Morris Oxford III. The engine is a BMC B series on the Oxford, which was used in many cars. Find parts suppliers for those cars will give you a supplier for your car.
The Oxford Series III is about 6 inches shorter. They are very similar from the back of the car up to the "A" pillar (the part of the body that has the front door hinges). The Oxford had the BMC "B" series 4 cylinder engine, whereas the Isis has the much larger BMC "C" series 6 cylinder engine. They are the main differences.

Thank you for looking
So is it a ambassador car from the British era
The Isis was produced first and when production ceased, Hindustan bought the design rights and called the car Ambassador in India.

What are the differences between Morris Oxford Series 3 and Morris Isis Series II ?
