MORRIS 18-22 Morris 1800 1800HL 2200HL Morris versions were distinguishable by the twin headlamps, raised grille insert and humped bonnet. Other than that, it was the same as the Austin 18-22 being available with either the 1800 or 2200cc engines and having the same trim levels. A basic Morris 1800. This was the entry-level no-frills model. Interior wise, it was identical to the Austin, except for the Morris wording in the centre of the steering wheel. This was the seating for the entry-level 1800, which are very basic. In actual fact, the seat frame and padding were identical for all trim levels, even the Wolseley, and later, HLS, except they had wider seat backs to accommodate the centre armrests; only the outer material and pattern designs were different. Note that in the basic model there was no centre console, and neither did you get a clock or voltmeter. Morris versions, as with the other 18-22 Series cars, are very rare and are possibly the rarest post-war Morris’s of all. The 18-22 Series was renamed Leyland Princess in September 1975, and the Austin, Morris and Wolseley versions were discontinued.
