Here is a 1926 Morris from Models of Yesteryear. I have had this one probably from it's initial release and it's in a darker brown color with a fold up rumble seat. These didn't have headlights so I guess the original was a daytime driver or you were in stealth mode !

Oh WOW!!! I haven't seen that model in a million years. I had maybe a half dozen of these Lesney Matchbox models from the late '50s and that little guy was my favorite. I have no idea whatever happened to them.

Rich, I still have a few of these old classic cars and models around. They were pretty cool at the time ...... and still are !

This Cowley Bullnose was the only Yesteryear I had as a kid and I loved it. I have a couple in my current collection.

They are very well done models, Jack, and I too have a few still around ! The old MoY's still are really nice after all these years.

Dinky did one of these on 43rd scale in yellow and blue with red wheels but it was a top up roadster and did have headlamps.

Mike;
I now have very many of them in my collection. I appreciate them more now than back in the day.

It is great you have so many in your collection. They were quite well done and John mentions Dinky did one, too, in 1/43 scale. The MoY were well done automobiles and a fine introduction in both subject and price when you were starting out. They are still an excellent value !

DINKY TOYS No.476G 1913 Morris Oxford "Bullnose" was an earlier version of the 1926 Morris Cowley Bullnose.
Here is the Dinky, much larger and a top up convertible in 1/43.
Here is my Lesney/Matchbox No.8 1926 Morris Cowley "Bullnose".
I agree with you all, lovely models worth keeping. I think that I prefer the Yesteryear one, despite its relative simplicity.
