Cars of Krugersdorp: 1955 Morris Oxford Series 2

The cars of Krugersdorp turn heads as they chug along down the street.

This week’s Golden Oldie is a 1955 Morris Oxford Series 2 belonging to Steven Jones.

Steven bought the car in 2012, after it had stood on a farm in East London for a few years. He has spent two years restoring the car. It still has working trafficators that pop out of the side of the car when making a turn.
