This one is a Mors from about 1914 - maybe a 14/20CV. |

The 33O8 cc engine indeed points to a 14/20 CV sleeve valve engined Mors of immediate pre ww I production, rendering 1914 realistic.There was also a side valve Mors 14/20 hp , but this had a slightly larger capacity of 3404 cc. Mors however used the Knight sleeve valve engines for most of their models and several of those were manufactured by Minerva .After WW I the 14/20 cv engine size was enlarged to 3562 cc. |

The DVLA data are wrong and it's a 1914 12/15 Mors RX of 2120cc. (VCC Dating Cert. 1323) |

Thanks, Allan, for sharing your expertise here, and nice to see you've found this site as well Welcome! Btw, do you happen to know anything about the coachwork? I wouldn't be surprised as this car turns out to have a British built body. |

Plate data survival from before 1921 is a lucky dip. There was no standardised system from start in 1903 with all sorts of local variations and quirks until the first central UK attempt to co-ordinate rules and records into a single national database as the predecessor of today's DVLA. Some pre-1921 records were carried through from whatever local records could be transferred through into the new system, but many others were given new "birth certificates" with 1921 dates. |
