Hi, I am Shane. My wife Catherine and I have been the proud owners of our Oxford since 1997, and along with our two boys have enjoyed many club activities in that time.
The Traveller spent its first 33 years in the township of Ashburton in South Canterbury where it was passed down the original owners family until 1996. While my parents while looking for a Series III Oxford they found the Traveller advertised in the classifieds.
So the short trip to Asburton was made to have a look and they returned with the Oxford. When Dad retired the Oxford was once again for sale and again the Oxford was passed down the family line.
Our Oxford was in its original condition when we got her and I used it as every day transport and enjoyed it with the family for club events once a month...
...until the day the Warrant Of Fitness man said that the minor rust in the tailgate needed to be dealt to.
After finding a sales brochure with a Traveller in Dove Gray (as ours was) with a burgundy from the waist-line down we decided that adding the burgundy really showed off her lines.
After another year of everyday use the Oxford was now to be used only for club events.
After the Traveller had clocked up 86,000 miles it was showing blue smoke on deceleration, so we decided once again to invest some more money. We had the motor fully reconditioned with new clutch etc. and we now look forward to many years of (cross fingers) trouble free Morris Motoring.
