Geschichte [Bearbeiten]
Die Morris Motor Company wurde 1913 von dem Fahrradproduzenten William Richard Morris gegründet. Morris eröffnete seine erste Automobilproduktionsstätte in Cowley/Oxford und begann dort mit der Herstellung seines Erstlingsmodells "Bull Nosed Morris". In den 20ern des 20. Jahrhunderts hatte Morris bereits einen ausgezeichneten Ruf als Automobilproduzent und konnte diesen in den 30er und 40ern durch den Aufbau und Hinzukauf weiterer Produktionsstätten sowie die Einführung der von Henry Ford entwickelten Fließbandfertigung weiter ausbauen. In Frankreich erwarb Morris 1925 Automobiles Léon Bollée. Die Marke wurde als Hersteller einfacher, aber zuverlässiger und preislich attraktiver Fahrzeuge zum Marktführer in England.
Kurz nach der Vorstellung des erfolgreichsten Morris-Pkw, des Morris Minor im Jahre 1948, verschmolz die Firma 1952 mit ihrem bis dato größten Rivalen Austin unter dem Dach der British Motor Corporation.
Während des Zweiten Weltkrieges war Morris auch im Flugzeugbau tätig, sie bauten z. B. rund 2000 De Havilland D.H.82-Doppeldecker.
Noch bis in die frühen 1980er wurde der Name Morris für einzelne Modelle des Automobilkonzerns verwendet. Der letzte Morris verschwand 1984 mit dem Morris Ital vom Markt.
In der ursprünglichen Produktionsstätte in Cowley/Oxford wird, nun unter Konzernzugehörigkeit zu BMW, der aktuelle Mini produziert.
