This restored 1927 Morris Cowley, built at the end of 1927, has passed through a fair number of hands in recent years and was offered at Brightwells' auction at the end of November. Originally a saloon, it was found as a chassis in Kent in '89 and fitted with a new four-seat tourer body by Cookes of Nottingham, with an interior retrim in grey leather, a rebuilt engine, plus an overhauled Dynastart and magneto. A new hood and sidescreens were fitted in '92.

See the news pages for the full story, but the trend is definitely up, up, up. I don’t really like discussing the hard financial side of this Porsche obsession of ours, but it’s difficult to ignore when values are rising by the month, if not the week.
