The return of Morris!

[brownnova]

So it looks like the Morris brand is returning to production with this!!

Fully electric commercial vehicle. 

https://www.morris-commercial.com/

Website looks flashy, and for one I actually really like the look of this!! 
 

Makes me wonder what other Morris models should be revived!

Holy shit *checks date*

[camryv6]

That looks great !!

[brownnova]

Oh plus you can “create” your own... this was just my version! 

[brownnova]

Preorders from next month...

Not that I have a spare £60k

That was impressively fast work, @brownnova. Very close, but no cigar.

That's one sexy beast.

Marina!

I read about this earlier, my first thought was how much! Second thought was. This was what central London etc need.

Crikey I’m well out of touch, I did not expect this !

I really hope this effort comes off

How long before someone shoe horns 1500cc 3-bearing B-series running gear into it.

FTFM

Can we have it as a Thames 400E too?

[Rovorsche]

Can they bring back this as well ?

[greengartside]

That looks bloody marvellous.

 

I’d like to imagine some of the owners will be bearded, gin-swigging hipsters who will use it as a pop up shithouse or some bollocks like that, complete with ‘living my best life’ emblazoned across the side of it.

[flat4alfa]

Hipsters will not* be doing this sort of thing 

[vulgalour]

I wonder if it shares any tech, or even the whole platform, with the LEVC TX electric taxi?  If it does, that would certainly save a lot of development and research cash.  I assume the buyers of said vehicle will be those looking for a distinctive promotional vehicle, I could well see Harrods and the like getting them for city deliveries.

The Marina?

If it's saic, presumably it's a ZS ev under the skin

Taxi version anyone?

Nicely buried in their website... alongside an ice cream van and a burger van... 

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Well that shits all over a T5. 

Much like.
