The Morris Major, debuting in 1931 and succeeding the Oxford Six, was built as a 2-door coupe and a 4-door hardtop or convertible. The vehicle had a 45-horsepower inline six-cylinder engine that was later detuned for taxation purposes. The car had a 3-speed gearbox and was rigged with six brakes. The Major was replaced by the Morris Cowley Six in 1934 after production was stopped in 1933.
