Following the established Morris policy of specialisation, all the vast resouces of the widespread Morris organisation, with its highly specialised factories, have been concentrated in producing a car which is quite outstanding in value. In it will be found no untried freatures of doubtfull merit but only details that protracted trails have proved successful, and that have survived the stringent "excess tests" to which all Morris cars are subjected both in the Experimental Department and on the production lines.

The combinded chassis and body construction producing a double box section frame of immense, which was first introduced by Morris Motors, is incorporated in the design, which also includes such attractive and useful features as a spring steering wheel, draughtless ventilation, large speedometer with special 30 mph warning mark,inbuilt hydraulic jacks, hydraulic brakes, inbuilt luggage container, well less floor, dual windscreen, concealed tracfficators with tell tale mirrors, smooth and powerful six cylinder engine with special provions for air and oil filteration, five point rubber engine mounting, low pressure tyres and harmonic stablising bumpers.

Frame
The chassis is of unique design and incorporates a portion of the body florring, forming an exceptional rigid structure which is further strengthened by a three pressed steel cross members and one central cross tube. The body is rigidly attached to the chassis, and the two together for a double box section structure of outstanding strength. The track is 4 ft 8 in. and the wheelbase is 8 ft 10 in.

Engine
The six cylinder engine of the Fourteen has a bore of 61.5 mm (2.58 in.), a stroke of 102 mm (401 in.) and a cubic capacity of 1818 cc (110.9 in.) Treasury rating 14 hp. The cylinders are cast in one with the skirt of the crankcase, which is extended well below the crankshaft centre and liberally reinforced with internal webs to provide a structure of great strength and rigidity. The crankshaft is of the four bearing type, with bearings of large diameter and length. The steel connecting rods are equipped with white metal big end bearings of full ring type, and are individually balanced to a very high degree of accuracy. The aluminium pistons are fitted with four rings and the complete assemibles of rods are equalised in weight to within .2 oz. (best aero engine practice).

The side by side valves are operated by a large diameter four bearing camshaft through adjustable tappets carried in removable guides. The cylinder head is detachable. The camshalf is friven by duplex roller chain from the crankshaft. An important feature of the induction sysetem is the A.C. air cleaner and silencer, which collects and consumes all fumes discharged from the crankcase breather, so that they are prevented from finding their way into the car interior.

Sychromesh Gearbox
The three speed gearbox is provided with sychromesh mechanism for second gears. The gearbox is provided with an accessible filling orfice and dipstick oil level indicator and protected by a thick dustproof rubber cover.

Lubrication
A spur gear pump, driven from the camshaft by inclined shaft, supplies oil under pressure to all main and big end bearings, camshaft and clutch. The oil is filtered before recirculation by a generous tray type filter covering the full area of the sump and a large capacity external filter. Chassis lubrication is by Enots high pressure oilgun conjuction with accessible nipples.

Cooling System
The cooling water is circulated by centrifugal pump and is controlled by thermostat. The cylinder head has carefully positioned ports which ensures an even temperature distribution. The radiator is fan assisted.

Electrical Equipment
The distributor for the 12 volt coil and battery ignition is driven from the upper end of then inclined oil pump driveshaft and has fully automatic advance and retard with micrometer adjustment. The large dynamo is belt driven and of the ventilated type with three charge rates. The starter motor is of the sliding pinion type located on the side of the gearbox. Full five lamp equipment is provided, including headlamps with dip and switch with singleacting foot operated switch which dips the lights with one depression and raises them on the next despression and fog lamps. All switches are accessibly mounted on the instrument panel with the exception of the horn and trafficator switch, which are conveniently mounted in the center of the steering wheel. An easily controlled electric windscreen wiper is mounted on the lower screen rail, with additional arm on the passenger side ensuring clear vision in bad weather. The battery is mounted below the front seats and is readily accessible.

Carbiration
An S.U. automatic piston type downdraught carburetter with adequate control over mixture strength supplies the mixture. The controls are conveniently aituated on the facia board. The petrol feed is by a large S.U. automatic electric pressure pump.

Petrol Tank
